on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2019)”Hello, I like what you guys are doing and it's a very useful service but this page made a a bit angry. https://www.secfi.com/option-tax-planning/ You ask a lot of personal data to in the end tell me that my country is not supported. This is some nasty little "Design" feature.

The OP's point of view on equity compensation is quite common and - I believe - in principle a great way to think about an investment that one does not fully understand.

on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2021)”You can get non-recourse financing to cover exercise costs and taxes. I.e. you can offload the risk of early exercise for a share of the potential upside. Source: I work at Secfi ( https://secfi.com ) and our equity and tax advisors are amazing.
