I use Site44. It's hosting synced to your Dropbox folder.

Just edit your index.html locally and it's pushed when your Dropbox syncs.

I did the [Computer Architecture and the Hardware/Software Interface](https://bradfieldcs.com/courses/architecture/) course and really enjoyed it.

I applied for the CSI program and really hope I get to do it this coming year. I got a ton of value out of the above course ($1800).

The CSI course is 10-20 hours a week for the year.

Lastly, up to this point I've been self-taught through Udemy. The problem with that is, sometimes, if you're stuck on something, it might take you 8 hours or more to figure it out. Where if you have someone knowledgeable, they can explain it in 15 minutes. Bradfield seems to do the best at that.

I've tried hiring a tutor outside of a MOOC and asking them for help, but it wasn't quite the same as a teacher who is actively engaged with the material.

Very true. The engineers in California (most of us) pay 40%.

Going above 65 WPM will not cause injuries.

Yeah. I type 65-75 wpm. No injuries. However, I only type that speed for short bouts. Emails, notes, planning documents. Typically, I am not typing. When coding, my limit is not my typing speed; it is my thinking through the problem and how to design and test the solution.

Facebook vests quarterly - there actually isn't a one year cliff. In the last picture, salary + signing bonus + (4 * Quarterly RSU) + expected year end bonus gives you the total pay for the first year.

I stand corrected. Thanks for explaining.

No problem!

I just checked Wealthfront and it says my rate is 44%. I'm working on increasing it to ~60%.

No problem! I appreciate your support.

I've sold my stock as soon as it's vested. I'm already overexposed to Facebook.

Those are for four years - I'll edit the text to explain that.

From February until October 5th, I lived at [NEMA](https://www.rentnema.com/) downtown in SF. I was in a 450 sqft. apartment, and it was $3270/month. I absolutely hated it. NEMA was fine, but SF is not for me.

On October 5th, I just moved down to Menlo Park next to FB. I'm in a 3BR 1BA which is $1850/month. It's much better here.

Still not great. It hardly makes sense to pull $300k/yr just to pay it all out to a landlord.

At $300k/year, your weekly paycheck is roughly $3300 after withholdings...I’d hardly say that all your cash is going to your landlord.

They're not getting paid $300k a year. They're getting paid $160k a year and the delta is made up in RSU. I'm not sure how FB transacts on stocks for you but depending how they deal with the taxes involved OP could be off by a large factor in the net calculation. Also not sure how FB vests stock, but if it's traditional OP still hasn't vested anything (1 year cliff).

It's not traditional actually. We vest quarterly, and I've sold my stock as soon as I've received it (two vest days so far). My third vesting is November 15th.

The last picture gives you my estimated total comp for the year, $343k. It will be something close to that unless $FB has a major change between now and next vesting date in February 2020.
