Honestly looks like a slightly above average wedding - prob cheaper than getting married in the US

They are clearly in the arena trying things.

Why do people post stuff like this? A guy made some money and had a nice wedding.
Would you prefer he kill himself?

They let us get our cash out within a few days IIRC, and we switched to a different bank (was right after we were acquired so kind of a different situation). I would say there's still a large gap in the market SVB filled but I am not using them for my new company yet so can't compare before/after.
Cool, it was my impression it was fairly smooth for customers. Glad it worked out well for you and congrats on the acquisition!
Thank you! Glad this happened after the deal closed

#156Tone of this is just awful, reads like he's saying they've laid off a bunch of people who were slowing us down, and sort of ends it by saying how excited he is about the business now they've been let go...

You can do everything you mentioned irrespective of whether you are allowed to keep the device or not (before it's physically collected by you former employer, which can take a few days).
Re: Brex Layoffs
#160How bad is the job market for tech folks now? Are companies hiring at all ?
My response will just be one data point, so take it with a grain of salt and do your own research. Job applications to interview rates are _way_ down, like 5% or less. Some job posts will likely feel like you sent your job application into a black hole and it will never be seen by anyone or get any response at all. I'd imagine use of "AI" job application screening services have greatly increased and HR departments ar…
As a tech recruiter, I can say that you 100% nailed it.
Thank you for explaining it so well.
