Fastmail. I can vouch for them, having used them since 2014, including after a recent re-design.

That's nice! In the time I've been in the industry, fb has generally been considered a better payer than amazon, I think. Would you agree?

I was just trying to say that the amazon vesting percentage doesn't adversely affect a returning intern's total first/second year comp.

Being an intern is a huge bonus here. My wife got a decent equity grant under the terrible 5/15/../.. plan, but also a 20k cash bonus for each of the first two years for being a returning intern.

This makes it very attractive to quit after two years, imo

That's why I said "a lot by people". I'm sure some people have ethical reasons to dislike ads.

This is a good read if you are non-snarky and were really looking for an answer.

If you re-read your parent comment, it says "A lot of people in their 20s". That's clearly different from "All of the people in their 20s".

Well, it _was_ brilliant, but the alleged perp got caught. Good luck now.
