When contacted, Clement was eager to share his experience working in a startup with us. He obliged to come down to our office so that we could conduct a face-to-face interview, during which we spoke about his experience working as a summer intern at (and the very first employee of) FinTech startup Lendela.
If you're a Singaporean tertiary student who's only ever considered working for the biggest corporations, we'll let Clement convince you to do otherwise.
Which startup did you work for? What does the startup do and what was your role in the startup?
I worked at Lendela Pte. Ltd. We are a online loan broker, reinventing the customer experience and connecting banks and consumers. We are part of the global fintech group Zentro Finmarket, which is headquartered in Sweden.
This concept of the integrated loan broker proved to be successful in the Scandinavian region. A similar product was successfully launched under another subsidiary in Brazil 2 years ago and it's become a leading player in the Brazilian market. We are now launching under the brand name Lendela in South-east Asia.
As the first non-equity employee, my role was not specifically defined, especially in the beginning, and I was assigned to many different tasks during my 3-month long internship.
During that first month, for an example, I was assigned to market research and product management. I was tasked with the research and creation of the product rules engine where customers can fill up the Lendela application form and we would present the best loan offers to them. I worked closely with the CTO to implement my findings on banks personal loans products onto the backend system. I also had input on new ideas for website design and typewriting content for the website.

It sounds as if Lendela is creating a search engine for loans in Singapore. Is that the case or does it offer other services as well?
I think what you're describing is a loan aggregator, and there are a couple of companies that do that. Loan aggregators help the user compare loans but eventually direct them back to the bank's website for the actual application process.
What we want to do differently is to create a seamless experience for the user, reduce drop offs, and allow consumers to fulfil their dreams of getting that car or house through the loan. With us, the consumer does not need to pay to get the best loan offers from various banks, which they can compare and choose from.
You mentioned that you did market research and product management. Were you the only person doing this? How many employees and interns diff the startup have when you were with them?
I was the only intern at Lendela at that point. For the first month of my internship, my bosses (who are also the CEO and COO) were still transitioning from their previous jobs and one of them was actually moving from Sweden to settle down in Singapore. We had no office at that point and I worked from home. During that period, we had a couple of face-to-face meetings and many more meetings via video-call.
Later on, after both my bosses got their Employment Passes, we moved into a co-working space called Collision 8 at Clarke Quay. It was an exciting time not just for the company but for me as I was witnessing the "birth" of a new company, similar to the garage beginnings we hear of all the big-name technology companies like Microsoft and HP.

What was the most interesting project you were tasked with while working there?
After the market research, I was tasked to craft and write articles for our blog. That was really interesting for me because it allowed me to step out of my comfort zone—I'm a math and econs student, so writing is certainly not one of my strengths.
Another interesting aspect about this task was the freedom and authority my boss gave me to "own" it. I found it puzzling at the beginning that I was not getting any specific instructions on what to write in the articles. Instead, I was given rather vague instructions to write blog articles that would interest the consumer and increase traffic to the site.
But I did my homework and started crafting deep and insightful articles about personal loans and the questions consumers have in Singapore when applying for them. I wrote an article about HDB and private home ownership as many young adults in Singapore are looking to purchase a property upon marriage.
How did you decide what topics to write about? What was your process like?
When my boss tasked me with writing the blog, I set myself a goal of writing four articles before the end of my internship period. Since my task was rather open-ended—to "write what people would want to read"—I looked at different sites that had information about loans and came up with the four most important things consumers would want to read on the subject.
It was tough at first, but I managed to finish the number of articles I set out to write, and gained more confidence in the process.

What was the greatest difficulty you faced in carrying out your role?
Working without the help of any other colleagues or interns—that was a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand, I had to do most things on my own, even though I'd never done them before. On the other hand, I got the freedom and opportunity to challenge myself. I also got direct attention from my bosses and got to bounce ideas directly off of them. Being with them daily and getting to attend business meetings also allowed me to learn a lot about the business first-hand.
It sounds like you got the freedom to try out lots of things, but the fact that this was your first internship and you didn't have a lot of experience made you fearful.
I was a lot more afraid and timid at the beginning of the internship, because sometimes I asked specific questions only to receive vague answers, like with my blog task. But I gradually gained more confidence to own those tasks and operate independently to the ultimate gain of the company.
Unfortunately, that also meant making more decisions that my bosses sometimes disagreed with. The internship ended up being a very good learning experience in terms of balancing the acts of taking ownership and following instruction. My boss did not have the time to spoon feed me step-by-step instructions, but neither could I read his mind to know what ideas he had.
This is how I learnt the importance of communication. I solved this issue by creating templates to make suggestions for changes that he had tasked me to do. This sped up the decision making process and made my work much more effective and efficient.
You mention that you were able to learn about the business first-hand from spending time with your bosses. Can you share one interesting thing you learnt about the business by spending so much time in close proximity to them?
I learnt both tangible and intangible things from these interactions. Let me begin by talking about the tangible things first: I got to see what it's like to grow a company from the very start, and so learnt about the different aspects necessary in running a company.
From expansion, to marketing to the fund raising process, all of these things helped me visualise what it means to own a company. I think this is something that was unique and I treasured every single opportunity I had to hear from and talk about the business with my bosses.
As for the intangible things, I got to see how they reacted and performed under pressure during their pitching sessions in which I had the privilege to sit. Sometimes the questions were difficult, and the way they reacted in these stressful situations is definitely something I can learn from. I also learnt that it is extremely important how one presents themselves and structures their sentences, which speaks of their analytical thinking process.

Why did you choose to intern at a startup instead of a traditional corporation?
To be honest, I didn't really make a conscious choice as they were the first company to accept me after my end-of-semester exams. But after comparing this experience I've had in Lendela and what I've heard from others about their internship experiences in traditional corporations, I certainly see a difference in culture and hierarchy between the two types of companies.
What sorts of differences?
One of my friends, who worked in a large firm, didn't really enjoy his internship experience. He felt that there were too many regulations, and he couldn't really make any changes to anything. He held a backend role, which involved a lot of coding but had to go through a lot of red tape in order to get the approvals from the right people before he could make any changes.
I think working at a startup gives one a greater sense of job fulfilment and ownership of the work one does. After a few weeks on the job, I stopped thinking so much about how I could benefit from this experience and started thinking more about how I could contribute to the success of the company, even as an intern.
Lendela might also have been unique in terms of work-life balance despite it being a startup as the owners were slightly older compared to owners of other startups. The bosses have their own lives to lead and their own families to build and so there was quite a bit of work-life balance.
What do you think is an important quality trait for startup employees to have?
As an intern, I think one must be willing to learn and to contribute to the success of the company instead of thinking only about how he/she can benefit from the internship experience.
In the beginning, I, too, focused heavily on the types of contributions I could make that would look good on my resume, would get me converted to full-time staff or would allow me to learn the most.
But as the weeks went by, I learnt that if I contribute solely to the success of the company and not think about my selfish desires, employers and bosses will recognise my contributions and take care of me too. After all, it is in the company's interest to reward employees fairly as startups do not have time or resources to train new staff and the financial muscle to keep searching for talent.
But one can contribute to the good of the company as well as to oneself. Or do you think that both those things are mutually exclusive?
Well, a lot of my peers are a lot more concerned about what they are able to get from their internship experience than what they are able to contribute to the companies they work for. They join large companies that have proper structure and learning programmes, then leave after the internship period, thinking only about how they can benefit from the experience.
I don't think that's wrong, but I also feel like I've grown out of it. Especially in the context of a startup, where you can actually make things happen—I think one's contribution to the company will definitely be rewarded and is mutually exclusive with one's personal benefit. My boss taught me to be focused and loyal to the company you are working for and not having one foot out of the door.
Have you considered starting up before?
Not seriously. But I did start thinking about an idea after we joined that co-working space. I thought it was quite cool that the co-working spaces were not just for people to work together. They also had shared pantries and co-fitness spaces.
I was very impressed by the nice office space, but also the idea that companies in the space can bring each other mutual benefit through networking and partnering up. I think co-working spaces are the future of SMEs and startups because such spaces provide companies with access to other partners, whether for marketing, legal, design or other kinds of help. They also have flexible tenures, which helps startups that need to expand and grow their business.
I found what they had created very interesting—something more than an office. Perhaps I might go in that direction!

What sort of advice would you have for someone who is going to start work at their first startup?
[laughs] You know, I actually recommended that my friend replace me when I left Lendela and they interviewed her but things didn't quite work out at that point of time.
About your question, I think that one must be willing to step out of their comfort zone. No matter the role you hold, you need to be willing to explore other tasks and to be prepared for the unexpected. You have to be okay with doing all kinds of different things. I think some of my friends who are shier may struggle with that.
It's also important that one is loyal, especially if you join smaller companies. What I mean is that one must be willing to sacrifice almost as much as the owners and think and work for the good of the company. If you do so, your employers will treat you likewise.
From the perspective of an employee, what sort of advice would you give to startup founders on how to create a good workplace environment?
Because we live in a country with one of the highest GDPs per capita and the highest cost of living, I think good compensation is on everyone's list. Paying competitively and fairly is important in attracting both interns and full-time staff.
As previously mentioned, creating a sense of ownership in each employee is important. I think my bosses did a good job that from day one: they shared insights about the business with me and talked openly without regard for hierarchy and as friends. They also did not micromanage me and allowed me to express my views on the work I had done.
There were other practical aspects that helped create this sense of ownership and belonging as well. On the first day of work during lunch, we went down to make company name cards. I was shocked that they were prepared to make a box of name cards for me even though I was only an intern. It was a small gesture, but it helped create a sense of belonging to the company and responsibility towards my work.
I also think it's important for startup bosses to have close relationships with their employees and foster an entrepreneurial spirit among them to help build and grow the company. This would help employees understand the mission and vision of the company and can be helpful when they face challenges, like when they are stretched and overworked, lacking belief in the business idea or facing inevitable politics at work.
Having said that, I think traditional corporations also can play their part in encouraging employees to share their views. Even though bureaucracy is inevitable in large organisations, I hope that people at the management level understand that employees' viewpoints and constructive ideas should be heard. And that all companies should have appropriate avenues to channel new ideas and make changes for the welfare of its employees.

Unfortunately, one of the problems many startups face is their inability to pay a competitive salary, especially in their early stages. You enjoyed your time at Lendela and learnt a lot from the experience. If your bosses were to give you a full-time role at a salary say 20% lower than the median for fresh graduates in your school, would you accept it?
It depends on the stage the company's in and the stage of life I'm at. For now, as an intern, I'm alright with not having such a high pay. But after I graduate in 2 years, I'd want to work in a place that pays more competitively.
I think compensation is still the number one priority for most people, especially for men who have spent 2 years protecting and serving the country and an additional 3 to 4 years pursuing a degree. But after doing this internship, that priority has gone down a little for me and I'm more focused on the job and the type of work I'll be doing in the future. I think a sense of purpose in work, driven by your passions and dreams, is also important. That's why I think we as a society need to look past materialism and work in a place where we can fully fulfil our personal aspirations.
You mentioned that you want to work at a place that's more developed. But when you work at small companies, especially in their nascent stages, you learn how to build a company. So why not go back to small companies and help them build themselves up instead? If it's about the remuneration, what if this small company offers you equity, for example?
I think the decision to do something like that is very tied to an individual's personality and situation in life. As a young and vibrant youth today, I have nothing to lose, so I don't mind the risk. Those who are thinking of settling down and building a family are going to have greater expectations of receiving a high pay to build that family. It all depends on how much one can stand to lose, so I'm definitely excited about such an idea today, but things could change in the future.
Finally, is there anything else you'd like to share with us about your experience that you haven't yet had the opportunity to share?
I feel that this experience has really opened my eyes to working in different types of companies, especially startups. Before that, I had a few misconceptions about startup and work life in general. I realised the idea of working in big corporations that pay handsomely is really traditional and definitely isn't the only way of looking at one's career. This opportunity also gave me a wider scope when it comes to looking at future career possibilities and how I can plan my career.
I would also like to thank Dionnis [an intern at UpCode] for introducing me this opportunity to share my experience and I hope it goes a long way for people who are thinking about working in or starting your own startups.

Computer gaming technology has improved in leaps and bounds over the last few years. As a result, there're machines that can expsoe you to that intense virtual gaming experience, which you've missed in the past. Yet, the question pops up from the nook and the corner pretty frequently. Can the dedicated gaming laptops really replace their desktop predecessors? The answer to this can be only be given based on hardcore facts. Let's explore the possibilities in the following paragraphs.
Technology, in its latest version, makes it possible to design ultra sleek laptops for gaming. It can easily fuse together a lot of impressive components in crunched space. But does this really ensure justice to the aspect of performance?
As a dedicated gamer, (otherwise, you wouldn't be spending time on this particular blog) you must already be aware about the top gaming motherboards with incredible features that are in the market. But a motherboard isn't everything to tilt the balance. Let's explore some other crucial aspects as well.
First of all – there are essentially two types of motherboards are available according to CPU manufacturers. One is Intel based motherboards which are just compatible with Intel core CPUs, and then comes the 2nd option which is AMD motherboards which is compatible for AMD CPUs. Before picking any motherboard you have to check the socket type fist coz it depends on the processor design. If the socket type doesn't matches then you have chosen the wrong board, so be careful before buying, else you have to change the whole configuration. There are so many motherboards available that is compatible with both the Intel and AMD processors.
GPU: It can't be denied that however powerful gaming laptops becomes, yet they'll never be able to surpass their desktop counterparts. Here's a hands-on experience. Nvidia acknowledges that its Fermi-based 480M GPU performs only 40% of its 480 desktop alternative, which was launched in 2010. There's more to it. The manufacturer claims with its Kepler-based 680M, the gap has been brought down by 60%. Recently, the flagship brand was quoted to have said that its 980M series is almost 70-80% fast in comparison to its newly launched GTX 980. Experts have yet a different story to spill. They say, though the gap is fast coming down but still it's not as narrow as Nvidia claisa.
CPU: The Quad-core i7 processors are doing the rounds in the market. It is said to be the cutting-edge technology in the world of computers. Do you know, i7 processors are just no comparison to their desktop counterparts? Yes, there're products like Clevo 570WM from AVADirect, which is a star performer but the truth is such products are very rare. Moreover, you can never unleash it to its maximum potential and enjoy gaming. Desktop products can, in addition to the factors mentioned above, have the advantage of modularity with the unbeatable feature of swappable CPUs to ensure enhanced performance.
Sound: Hardly a few years ago, laptop speakers were no better than craps. In contrast to that, now the portable gaming machines have incredible sound firepower. You neither need to spend a fortune to enjoy the high-quality sound. For example, Lenovo offers its Y500 gaming series just for US$1,000 with impressive speakers powered by JBL.
RAM: Now these days there are two types of RAM you can get, one is DDR3 and another is DDR4. Some motherboards are compatible with the both of these and some are specially built for a specific type. So if you have DDR4 RAM then it would be better to buy DDR4 RAM compatible motherboard.
Most laptops now allow users to swap out the RAM. Some laptops even support 32GB RAM, which is more than enough for both high-level gaming and the other daily chores. As far as the price is concerned, both desktop and laptop RAMs are competitively priced without any substantial margin.
SLI and CrossFire Support: If you are going to configure a CPU with dual graphics card with either Nvidia SLI or AMD CrossFire technology then your motherboard should be compatible with these variants.
What you have to do is simply check the specifications to confirm that which of these two variants is required. In case you're doing more than 2 ways SLI or CrossFire, then you have to investigate properly because there are only few high-end motherboards available which are compatible with both the technologies.
Considering all these facts, you shouldn't choose a gaming beast only based a good motherboard for gaming. Rather, take all these facts into consideration, before making the final call.

Hey Lurkers, My name is Sarah. Nice to meet you. Shake my virtual hand, you know you want to. Do it.
I'm a 30-something-single parent. I'm a customer service rep who spends her time writing, drinking coffee in excess, reading and hanging out with my daughter. You can find me under the hood of my car, or writing my journal snuggled up on the couch. I started this blog a while ago, originally on a different site, and it just caught on. This blog is my sanity.
Now I really don't have a specific writing style. Or hell. Topic. I'm not technically a mommy blogger, or a food blogger. Or anything in specific I guess. I just like writing. Sometimes I have a mental break and tweak out in a blog entry for a while. Sometimes, rarely, but sometimes, I get over worked regarding a political issue and may use my blog to talk about it. Or hell. I may just treat this site as a diary. Either way. I write here, if you like it keep reading.

Blind Mother-To-Be Sees Her Unborn Baby for the First Time with 3D Printing
3D printing is changing the world that we live in for the better, with literally hundreds if not thousands of real world possibilities and applications and this example will truly touch your heart. This is the powerful story of how 3D printing has helped mother-to-be Tatiana Guerra to 'see' her unborn child for the first time ever.
Throughout pregnancy, ultrasound exams let both parents and doctors see how the baby is doing, sadly though Guerra lost her eyesight at the age of 17 which means that she would never be able to see her baby but with the help of a 3D printing station provided by Huggies that was made possible. The 3D printed bust was presented to Guerra as a surprise and the whole thing was caught on video.
Mother-to-be Tatiana Guerra got a surprise that she will always remember.
At the age of 17 Guerra lost her eyesight meaning she could not see her baby when she went to ultrasound scans.
Unknown to her, a 3D printing station was nearby ready to print a bust of her baby from the ultrasound scan.
And when she received the bust her reaction was absolutely priceless.

Lautaro Martinez is a long term target of Barcelona's, with the club hierarchy reportedly seeing him as a perfect fit.
But their interest in the Inter Milan striker has been accelerated of late following the news that Luis Suarez will be out until the end of the season with a knee injury.
The reality is that Barcelona was already planning to replace Suarez, who turns 33 this month.
Barcelona's director of football Eric Abidal confirmed the situation in November last year.
"I am transparent with the players, Luis can tell you because last year I already told him that it was going to be like that," Abidal told Mundo Deportivo.
"That we were going to look for an offensive player and I don't say he did not accept it, he accepted it because he wants the best for the team."
Abidal also conceded that La Blaugrana was interested in Martinez.
Now, according to Catalan radio station Cadena SER, Barcelona have made Martinez a priority.
They state that Barca is willing to meet the 22-year-old's €110m release clause.
It's also reported that the Catalan giants may make their move this month as opposed to summer.
Martinez has scored 10 goals in 19 games in Serie A so far this season.

The Plundering of Iraq's National Museum: What Really Happened?
The Baghdad Museum was founded in 1923 in King Faisal's Palace at the urging of the English archaeologist Gertrude Bell. The collection was moved in 1926 to a separate building and was called the Museum of Iraq. That was when it started admitting visitors. By 1966, numerous archaeological digs in Mesopotamia had significantly expanded its collection, and the museum moved into a new building that could accommodate it. Unique gold artifacts from the Treasure of Nimrod were added to the collection in 1988. Ten days after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Saddam Hussein ordered the Nimrod gold hidden in safes at the National Bank. The condition of the National Museum's collection has been unclear since that date. The museum was closed in the spring of 1991 because military operations began, and it only opened for visitors nine years later on April 28, 2000, the 63rd birthday of the Iraqi leader. However, none of the Nimrod artifacts were among the exhibits in the national collection—they were not found until Matthew Bogdanos's investigation in June 2003.
Disaster struck between the 8th and 12th of April, 2003, when fighting broke out on the museum grounds, and museum employees left the building. The museum was massively looted and artifacts of world culture destroyed. Thousands of priceless historic and archaeological relics belonging to the ancient Sumerian civilization and other periods of Mesopotamian history disappeared from storerooms. According to official reports, looters plundered the museum for about 48 hours. Months were required to assess the damage to the museum. Initially, 170 thousand out of the just over 500 thousand exhibits in the museum were reported lost. However, that number has since reduced many times. It is currently believed that approximately 15 thousand items were lost. Among the stolen artifacts that have been recovered were exhibits of world significance—the alabaster Uruk vase depicting the goddess Inanna (3200 B.C.E.) and the marble mask known as the Sumerian Mona Lisa or the Lady of Warka.Statements by eyewitnesses that are mentioned less frequently in the news media provoke interest and raise questions. In trying to understand what went on, we are often faced with the fact that the museum staff believe the looters knew what they were looking for and acted intentionally, destroying and carrying off only the most valuable exhibits.
The robbery was carried out by a well-prepared group of people completely unopposed by American soldiers. Of course, there were also thieves who acted spontaneously.
Some sources claim that the Americans almost seemed to guard the looters. These surprisingly well-prepared criminals easily opened the steel doors of storerooms and were well acquainted with the layout of even the underground storerooms. US Attorney General John Ashcroft confirmed that in his interview: "From the evidence that has emerged, there is a strong case to be made that the looting and theft of the artifacts were perpetrated by organized criminal groups—criminals who knew precisely what they were looking for." Officials hastened to say that the thieves were Iraqis. However, Rumsfeld took no actions to prevent the thefts or stop them, which can hardly be called a simple oversight. US scholars warned the Pentagon about the possibility of theft even before the war started and requested that it prevent the destruction of ancient artifacts.
In its report on the subject broadcast Monday, NBC referenced the well-known American orientalist Maguire Gibson of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. Gibson said that he visited the Pentagon three times before the beginning of US military operations in Iraq and warned American military authorities about the value of the unique collections in the Baghdad museums. Similar meetings were held in the US Department of Defense by a delegation of museum workers, scholars and collectors who also called on the Pentagon to make every possible effort to save that world heritage. However, they were unale to prevent the Baghdad museum from being looted. READ FULL ARTICLE:

There are tons of new products on the market available every day, so this is a great time to take advantage of some of them and see how they'll enhance your garden.

And, of course, because it's on your phone, you can access it wherever you are without having to consult a book.
Plant Monitor
The Parrot Flower Power Plant Monitor kind of works like a baby monitor, except it's not for babies or noise! This monitor provides a wireless sensor to keep track of a plant's moisture, temperature, light, and fertilizer levels. The product then sends this information to a smartphone or other device with Bluetooth so you'll always know exactly how your green babies are doing.
Garden Cam
For you artistic folk who like to work with technology like photos and video, put the Brinno GardenWatchCam in your garden so you don't miss a single thing.

The VegiBee
This innovative creation, called a "sonic garden pollinator," is a small, battery-powered device that mimics the high-frequency vibrations of a bee's wings during the pollination process. The vibrations then release pollen onto a spoon for the gardener to use to hand-pollinate their own plants. The result is up to a 30 percent increase in crop yield!

Insurance was a great idea.
"Wait, what?" you say. "You mean, great idea like the printing press, or penicillin, or indoor plumbing?The bean-counters, the forms, the fine print? That thing I mostly hope I just don't have to deal with?"
Well, bear with us for a minute. Let's go back in time a few thousand years. . . .
Insurance gave traders the confidence to travel on camels all across ancient Babylon, around 1,750 B.C. Around 1,000 B.C., the early insurance idea of the "general average" gave peace of mind to merchants sailing their cargoes from the Greek port of Rhodes. And the first modern insurance contract dates from Renaissance Italy, when Genoese sailors ventured across the Mediterranean from Istanbul to Gibraltar.
So ever since the first modern contract (Genoa, 1347 A.D.), and the first property insurance (London, 1681), insurance has been there to clean things up after the stuff hit the fan.
But there was always a challenge.
Insurance never had a way to recognize behavior, or to tell the difference between the careful and careless (until afterward, like when you had a crash). It was all about your past. So if you were out there, quietly trying to take the high road, to choose a little better, drive a little safer, what did you get for that from your insurance company?
The same rate as the person next to you.
And there's the rub: insurance has always been about your past, but it needed to learn how to encourage you and reward your good trajectory for the future. Insurance was always there behind people, but it had to be smarter about looking ahead.
Protection is good, of course. But protection plus recognition and fairness? That's way better. That's something that regular people might even get excited about.
That's why we're here.
That's why HiRoad is what it is: we're here to address that challenge insurance has had since the days of sailing ships and camel caravans, of being able to recognize and reward the good people out there.
And by setting up our business this way, our goal isn't just to pick up the pieces after something bad happens (which insurance has done for thousands of years, as we've covered). Our goal is to help fewer bad things happen in the first place, because more people have incentives to live smarter and drive safer.
So is reinventing insurance as exciting as, say, when people first discovered how to cook meat over fire? Maybe not. But we think we'll be able to help a lot of people this way. We hope you'll join us on the way up.

Many people in tech roles dream of landing a spot with a fast-moving start-up. The mythology (and current salary information) around the early employees at companies like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Microsoft is enough to make even the most risk-averse tech employee consider leaving their comfy corporate gig and rolling the dice on an exciting, new potential unicorn.
Of course, for every amazing story you hear of a multi-millionaire angel investor who started out as a young software engineer working out of a garage, there are countless others of people falling flat on their faces. People who risked it all, and unfortunately, didn't come out on top.
Luckily, we've come a long way since the days of Microsoft's first employees working from a garage in Albuquerque. With approximately 80 new companies launching every hour, the tech world offers plenty of insight on how to negotiate a job offer at a start-up so that you can minimize risk and maximize the potential value of the opportunity.
So, that's what the Paysa team is sharing with you here today. To kick things off, let's take a quick look at the salary information and other key points of an offer you might receive from an early stage start-up:
Components of a Start-up Job Offer
#1. Base Salary
Here's a simple truth for you that can help you evaluate whether working for a start-up is right for you:
The base salary should be the least important aspect of a job offer from a start-up.
Simply put, if you want a big base salary (and have the talent to demand it), you're better off working for a big tech company that can afford to pay you what you deserve up front. Start-ups rarely can compete with the base you'll receive from a company like Twitter or Apple.
Most have limited funds that they can commit to the upfront costs of a significant base salary. That doesn't mean you don't deserve adequate compensation; it just means that if you're thinking of joining a start-up, be prepared to bet on the long game through more incentive-based compensation, such as:
#2. Bonus and Commissions
Performance pay incentives like bonuses and commissions help start-ups cover the gap between their job offer and what you likely deserve to earn based on your salary and experience. Generally speaking, bonus plans at start-ups will be significantly more lucrative than what you can expect to see from one of the tech giants.
But, of course, you need to perform well to ever see that money. Some of your ability to perform hinges on the start-up itself. Slow decision making, ill-advised product roadmaps, and inadequate sales or marketing could significantly hinder your ability to hit your bonus—even when you're doing your part perfectly. That's why it's so important to research and understand your start-up long before negotiating a job offer. You need to know:
- How the company is set up
- What their product roadmap looks like for the future
- How they stand apart from the competition
- What the current team looks like
- How decisions get made within the company
Asking questions about these key areas during the interview process will save you some headaches during the offer negotiation stage. But, no matter what, make sure you have a clear scope on each of these areas before accepting anything.
Your base and bonus can be a great way to pay the bills, but those start-up millionaires didn't get their money from bonuses—it comes from equity:
#3. Equity
There are plenty of great reasons to consider joining a start-up. More autonomy, better career growth potential, and a bigger influence over product direction are just a few of them.
Equity is what makes the risk of joining a start-up worth it. The potential for a big payday down the road when the company goes public or gets acquired is enough to make some of the top talent in tech jump ship from huge companies to small start-ups.
The Problem with Negotiating Start-up Job Offers
If you were to receive a job offer to become a software engineer at Airbnb or Uber, evaluating that offer would be fairly simple.
You'd go to Paysa.com, run a salary search for the company and job title, and immediately see this:
Average salary for a software engineer at Airbnb, per Paysa data
It provides a simple, accurate breakdown of exactly how much you can expect in base salary, bonus, and equity. You could then use that information to negotiate aspects of your compensation appropriately. The problem is, salary information like this doesn't exist for companies with ten employees. So the question comes up:
How do you know the baseline salary information to measure your offer against, how do you negotiate a job offer from a start-up?
Here are a few basic rules to live by when it comes to start-up salary negotiation:
#1. Never Accept the First Offer
A company with tight funds that needs to justify every single dollar spent to investors will naturally (and understandably) try to get the best possible deal for talent. It's hard to fault them for it, but that doesn't mean you need to accept it. Push back on your initial offer to see where the company has flexibility. If they come back and offer a bit more equity but the same base, then use equity negotiation as the hinge to accept an offer. Check out this post from the Paysa blog to see what you can negotiate when a higher salary isn't an option.
#2. Negotiate Your Bonus to be Based on Your Performance (not Company Performance)
The more you can shape a bonus plan around criteria you control, the more likely you'll be to actually earn that bonus at the end of the year. That's why negotiating not only the dollar amount of your bonus but also the stipulations for how you earn it can be a great way to get the most from your start-up job offer.
#3. Follow Paul Graham's Formula for Calculating Equity
Paul Graham wrote a simple formula for calculating equity on his personal blog over ten years ago, and it still holds true today:
n = (i – 1)/i
Here's Paul describing how it works:
"For example, suppose you're just two founders and you want to hire an additional hacker who's so good you feel he'll increase the average outcome of the whole company by 20%. n = (1.2 – 1)/1.2 = .167. So you'll break even if you trade 16.7% of the company for him."
#4. Use Paysa to Gather Relevant Cost-of-Living and Salary Data
While you may not be able to get the salary information for small start-ups from Paysa, there's still a ton of valuable data at your disposal that can help with negotiations. If you've been offered a job as a UX designer in New York City, for example, you could look up the average salary information for that role in that market:
Average salary for a UX designer in NYC, per Paysa data
And, you could look at the cost-of-living data for New York, too:
Average cost of living in NYC, per Paysa data
We're here to provide valuable advice and help you understand your market value. If you're thinking about applying for a job at a tech start-up, check out Paysa.com today to begin exploring salary and cost of living data.

Australians keep shopping in promising sign for Christmas
[SYDNEY] Australian retail sales boasted a third month of solid growth in October as shoppers spent big on household goods and at department stores, a promising sign for the all-important Christmas period.
Coupled with record demand for new cars it suggested consumers were doing their bit to help offset weakness in mining. Household consumption accounts for 56 per cent of annual economic output, mining less than 9 per cent.
Friday's data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed retail sales rose 0.5 per cent in October from September when they increased by 0.4 per cent.
A booming property market helped drive a 1.1 per cent rise in household goods for a second month of strong gains, while sales at department stores jumped 3.5 per cent.
That was positive news for growth as the retail industry accounts for A$290 billion of Australia's A$1.6 trillion (S$1.63 trillion) of annual economic output, and is the second biggest employer with 1.25 million workers.
Consumers have also had the confidence to splash out on big ticket items, with sales of new vehicles in November jumping to a record for that month.
Sales of sports utility vehicles (SUV) were up over 16 per cent on last year, while a surge in demand for commercial vehicles hinted at a much-needed pick up in business investment.
Rising home prices have boosted household wealth - the country's housing stock is worth around A$5.6 trillion - while surprisingly strong employment growth has supported spending power even as wages remained subdued.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cited signs of an acceleration in household consumption as one reason for keeping interest rates unchanged at 2 per cent this week.
Unexpected strength in spending had already helped economic growth perk up to 2.5 per cent for the year to September, putting Australia ahead of almost all its peers.
Still, the retail sector is not without its troubles. While a lower local dollar has made imports dearer, intense competition has prevented many retailers from being able to pass on the full costs and has squeezed margins instead.
The pressure has taken a heavy toll on some. Electronics chain Dick Smith Holdings saw its shares dive 40 per cent this week after poor sales forced it to write off A$60 million of inventory.
The retailer announced plans for a clearance sale with discounts of up to 70 per cent, which could prompt other chains to cut prices in return.

Disney released a new trailer for the upcoming "A Wrinkle in Time" adaptation, filled with magical moments and wondrous special-effects. The film won't hit theaters until later this Spring, but you can watch the trailer and get excited for new release. This isn't the first teaser released for the film, but it does offer an excellent first-look at the extended cast.
The new adaptation was directed by Ava DuVernay, Disney's "A Wrinkle in Time" is based on Madeleine L'Engle's timeless classic of the same name. The studio teased the story saying that it "takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love".
Through one girl's transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one's individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one's own light.
The screenplay for the film was written by Oscar winner Jennifer Lee. "A Wrinkle in Time" stars: two-time Academy Award nominee Oprah Winfrey, Oscar and Emmy winner Reese Witherspoon, Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peňa and introducing Storm Reid, with two-time Emmy winner Zach Galifianakis and Emmy nominee Chris Pine.
Produced by Jim Whitaker and Catherine Hand with Doug Merrifield serving as executive producer, the film also boasts an impressive creative team featuring some of the most talented artisans working today, including: Tobias Schliessler, ASC as director of photography, Naomi Shohan as production designer, Oscar-nominee Spencer Averick as film editor, two-time Academy Award-nominee Paco Delgado as costume designer and four time Emmy nominee Ramin Djawadi as composer.
"A Wrinkle in Time" will hit theaters on March 9, 2018. March will be a pretty exciting month for the box-office. Also opening that month is the action-adventurer "Tomb Raider" from Warner Bros. Pictures, and the Jennifer Lawrence spy-thriller "Red Sparrow".

I've been contemplating for weeks how I'd describe 2015 for WP Site Care. We've done some great work and had a lot of fun doing it, but I can't help but think there's something more to what we've accomplished in the last 12 months.
Here's a quick breakdown of what I believe we did well, and what I know we could have done better.
- It was our most successful financial year. ?
- It was a year that we grew the most as a company (in a number of different ways). ?
- It was a year where we focused on quality, not quantity. ?
- We remembered to laugh along the way ?
- And it was a year where we really started to find our voice and swagger. ?
There were things we could have done better as a company, and that I could have done better as a leader. I don't bring these things up with a tone of chastisement or correction, but just so it's clear that we know we're not perfect and we're working on improving every day.
- I could have (and should have) hired earlier.
- We could have established more refined processes, earlier.
- I can name a few times where we dropped the ball.
- We didn't buy an office dog. Major failure on my part.
Growing Our Team
One of the things that I'm most happy about is how our team grew. We added a number of new people, and not only did we grow in numbers, but we absolutely grew in talent. The type of people we've been able to attract as a company has been amazing, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work with creative, intelligent, and hilariously funny people every day of my life.
Here are the people we added this year:
- Ben Coughran
- Mihai Alexandru @misulicus
- Andrea Whitmer @nutsandbolts
- Krista McPhee @kristaleemcphee
- Megan Gray @HouseofGrays
- Ozzy Rodriguez (just a few weeks ago!) @OzzyR
We more than doubled in size in 2015, and while that's definitely not what anyone would consider hyper growth, that's not a mindset our company even has.
We like adding people who add to our team in different ways, and that couldn't be more true of the mix of hires we've had over the last year. With diverse backgrounds, life stories, experiences, and talents, I'm incredibly happy with how well-rounded our team is. The growth of our team is what I'd consider our most important accomplishment of 2015.
We spent part of October together in Park City, Utah, and you can check out some of the highlights in this video.
A Renewed Commitment to Quality
Quality support has always been important to me, but in 2015 I knew we had the opportunity to transition into a completely proactive support model. I envisioned something where we were identifying issues, and making recommendations to our customers before they even had an opportunity to report an issue. We made massive strides into becoming truly proactive in our support and maintenance efforts. We still have work to do, but here are some quick numbers that I believe reflect this transition.
- We had 2 people rate our support as unsatisfactory. Over the course of 12 months, two people gave us a "Not Good" rating in support. TWO PEOPLE. Considering the volume of tickets we address on a daily basis, that's truly remarkable to me.
- Our ticket volume is staying steady – Over the past 6 months, our customer base has grown roughly 25%, but our volume of tickets has stayed pretty much the same as it was six months ago. We've been working hard on a lot of behind-the-scenes processes and truly trying to streamline communication, and so far it looks like it's paying off.
- Monthly Reporting – Each month we reach out to all of our customers with a set of recommendations that are unique to them. We want to make sure that they aren't just getting blanket recommendations like "optimize your database and combine your stylesheets." We put together a custom plan to address all of the major issues we believe should be addressed. This has been incredibly well received by our customers, and we know it's helped cut down on a number of support requests too.
- We've focused on building our support team – I honestly can't tell you how Matt and I managed all of the incoming support requests for as long as we did. This goes back to me waiting too long to hire. Welcoming Andrea, Krista, and Mihai to the support team made me extremely happy, and actually allows me to sleep occasionally too!
Remembering to Laugh
Support can be emotionally and mentally draining, so it's incredibly important to laugh along the way. I have a really hard time admitting this, but I may be the least funny person on the Site Care team. Our Instagram account sheds a little bit of light into the hijinx that takes place around here daily.
Like Heather always giving us the Nick Burns treatment
How many of you remember Nick Burns? @theheatherdamron is always Nick Burnsing us. Moooooove. Do you have a fav Nick Burns quote?
Or Benny sending an actual physical Rick Roll to a coworker
This is type of stuff you come to expect in a care package from one coworker to another when you work here A photo posted by WP Site Care (@wpsitecare) on
This is a very small part of the fun we have around here, but you get the idea. We work hard and we play hard, otherwise we'd lose the small bit of sanity we have left.
Top Articles from 2015
We didn't publish close to as much content as we needed to in 2015. We have so many things to say, but where do people find the time to say them? That's a big goal for us heading into the New Year!
That said, we did have a few articles that really seemed to resonate with people, so I'll list them here if you're interested in reading more articles about WordPress and the things we're doing here at WP Site Care
- The Best WordPress Plugins Ever Created Since the Dawn of Time – This list was a massive hit, and continues to be one of our top pieces of content day in and day out. I think it's because it truly is a "best of the best" list, and not a list that's there to promote a product to make a quick buck.
- Introducing Walkie Talkie – At the end of August we introduced our Walkie Talkie product, that does some cool things with the Help Scout and WordPress APIs. Most importantly, it streamlines conversations with our clients and makes sure things never get lost in the shuffle. We also shifted our pricing plans at the same time, which felt like a big risk, but ended up being a fantastic decision.
- WP Site Care Origin Story – If you want to know how we got started here, and what we've accomplished since, you'll probably enjoy that read.
- WP Featherlight: An Ultra Lightweight Lightbox Plugin for WordPress – This is the post that introduced our popular WP Featherlight plugin. It continues to be our most popular plugin. If you want a beautiful lightbox for your WordPress images and galleries, be sure to check that out.
- How Much Does a Website Really Cost in 2015 – We went deep with our cost analysis for taking a DIY approach to making your own website. That got shared around quite a bit, and continues to be a popular piece of content on social media.
- Negative SEO: Destroying Small Business One Spammy Backlink at a Time – Gripping headline, and it actually lives up to the hype. We got spammed hard at the end of 2014, and we wanted to share with people what that looks like, and what can be done about it.
Those were all of the articles that the general public really seemed to love, so I figured putting them in a quick list would let you skim the highlights without reading through our entire blog. Although, if you feel inclined to read through our entire blog, I won't stop you.
Looking Forward
I've always believed, and still firmly believe that providing an outstanding service is the best marketing tool in anyone's arsenal, but I do know that if we talk more about the great work we're doing, we'll be given more opportunities to do the same kind of work.
We're finally at a place where I feel like things have stabilized just enough for us to start focusing on getting out into the world a bit more, and talking to other people about the cool and fun things we're doing here. We have big plans for 2016, and it's my personal goal to make sure the world knows about them, ideally before our 2016 year in review post.
Happy New Year and here's to a prosperous 2016 for all!

Reviews of Books
My Change of Mind, by Mrs. Atkey. Published by Elliot Stock, 62, Paternoster Row, London, E,C. The sub-title of this book, "A Story of the Power of Faith," aptly characterizes the book, for it is a story designed to show the necessity for the exercise of Faith in the ordinary affairs of life, but it deals almost entirely with Faith in its application to the obtaining of material things, and the whole story is made to subserve this underlying purpose. The book is highly emotional, and deals with passive states of mind rather than with active principles. Written by a woman, it is pre-eminently a book for women, and will doubtless prove helpful to many. Apart from its purpose, the story itself is interesting.
The Ethic of Christianity, by the Rev. R. W. Corbet, M.A. Elliot Stock, 62, Patemoster Row, London. In this able pamphlet of sixteen pages, the writer gives a remarkably clear exposition of the fundamental Ethic of the teaching of Jesus. Almost at the commencement, he distinguishes between the ethic of Christ and that of Ecclesiasticism, and he then proceeds to philosophically expound the Ideal Love as it is expressed in and by Jesus, and as the ultimate state of entire Humanity. He sees Humanity evolving, by stress of its own inner life, toward glory, and power, and perfection, and concludes with these words; "Each man and all will ultimately become Divine sages, endowed with Divine power in the true wisdom and the true power of Divine Love."
Man, The Reformer, published by The Simple Life Press, 5, Water Lane, London, E.C., is a reprint of one of the grandest of Emerson's lectures, and there is included with it a portion of another of his lectures, entitled, Reforms and Reformers, as well as an extract from "The Over-Soul." In these utterances of Emerson, the prophetic character of the man stands out prominently, and great as is his eloquence and profound his philosophy, they cannot parallel his prophetic insight which throws around his almost every sentence a transcendent light. The book is printed on excellent paper and in bold, readable type.
True and False Life, of the same series as the above, is a reprint of the central chapters of Tolstoy's Gospel in Brief.
The Shambles of Science, by Lizzy Lind Af Hageby and Leisa K. Schastan. 206 pages, paper covered. Published by Ernest Bell, 6, York Street, Covent Garden, London. This is a work against Vivisection, its object being to hasten the elimination of cruelty from Physiological Research.
Emerson and Modern Thought, by Charles Cattell, is an admirable brochure on some of the more salient points in Emerson's teachings, and should be read by all who are interested in Emerson, or who contemplate entering upon the study of his works. The subject matter of the pamphlet is divided and arranged under various headings, some of which are—"The Bacon-Shakespeare Craze," "Science and Philosophy," "Skepticism," "Religion," and Emerson's attitude of mind in these directions is intelligently dealt with, and quotations from his writings are frequently interspersed. It is published by the writer, at "Emerson," Pokesdown, Hants.
Unity and Variety in Religion, by Wilfred Viner. Price not given. Published by Williams and Norgate, 14, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, W.C. In this cloth-bound book of thirty-three pages, the author gives expression to many beautiful thoughts based upon broad principles. He holds up a lofty ideal of religious unity, and although he unconsciously violates this perfect unity by stating that his particular religion is higher, ethically, than all others, he has so far advanced towards it as to be able to say—"The day is coming when the cry will no longer be There is but one True Religion—the Christian—and all others are false, for all will soon discover a rallying point in the proclamation that All Religions are One! "
Songs for the Right, by James Wilfred Cryer. Price not given. Published by A. Blackshaw and Sons, School Hill Mills, Bolton. There are some sweet little poems in this paper-covered booklet of thirty-six pages. The author nowhere aims at profundity of thought, music and emotion being the predominant features of his poetry. Several of the pieces are real gems of musically expressed feeling. One of these, "Why do We Wait?" is printed on another page of this journal.

Topic: Subscription to forums (RSS & Email
I've searched and found several topics on the subject, but none that point to a solution that fits what I'm looking for.
The board I'm working on is mostly hidden from guests. Only one forum is viewable to guests, while the other 20 are then viewable once a user has registered.
With this setup my feeds don't work. Since entern.php, and the RSS mod by alexking are based on the feeds being viewable by guests, the only entries that are published in the feeds are those that lie in my "Welcome" forum for guests. The category specific feed links are empty and give me a parse error.
does anyone know a way to make the feeds authenticate as a member so they will work?
If not, does anyone know how to allow users to subscribe via email to whole forums rather then just threads?

DKC transitioned out of lower-fee sectors, such as film and event publicity, in favor of corporate work, while phasing out short-term projects.
"We did leave money on the table as we refined our client scope," Sean Cassidy, president, says, avoiding projects in the three-month-and-less range in favor of six-to12-month tasks. However, that didn't extend to crisis management, which may still be short-term, but is lucrative, he adds.
From successful campaigns for powerful brands from Microsoft to Delta Airlines, to warming up in the sports arena (which grew 20%), DKC still has a reputation as a go-to for high-profile names.
"We are very comfortable with our level of growth and welcome the challenge to build a national presence," Cassidy says.

Deltona is one of the largest cities in Central Florida. The population has grown in recent years, as more and more people embrace the balance of natural beauty and amenities that makes Deltona so wonderful. Dogs find it woofderful, too, and Deltona has nine vets and animal hospitals so your pet can always be in tail wagging good health. Celebrate with a trip to Beef O'Brady's, a local and tourist favorite with award winning chicken wings.
Looking for a hike in Deltona? Lake Monroe White Trail is a 5.6 mile loop trail available for all skill levels. There's a chance to see wildlife, which is part of the reason your dog has to be leashed during your hike. Also be aware of other joggers and cyclists on the trail! If you're looking for an even harder challenge, East Central Regional Rail Trail's full length is 10.9 miles. You can break it off into chunks by looking up the point to point stretches and tackling just one or two segments at a time.
At the end of a hard day of having fun, take your pet to Travelodge Deltona, where small dogs can sleep without a pet fee. Wherever you rest, it'll be a good night in Deltona.
Thornby Park is a 37-acre retreat from the world in the Maronda neighborhood of Deltona. Though there is a small playground on site, the main draw is the gorgeous nature trail. Your leashed dog is welcome to accompany you as you step into a tree lined path and leave the stress of the city behind you. There's plenty of exploring to do in this large park, so plan accordingly. Though the main park section has fountains, bringing your own water for nature walking is a plus. Remember to bring a doggie bowl too, so your dog can cool down with you!
Keysville Dog Park is located inside Keysville Park in this neighborhood. The area is divided into fenced in areas for large and small dogs. There's also a third area that's useful for dogs who need exercise, but aren't yet social enough to mix freely with the others. The areas have some simple play equipment like agility tunnels. The main perk is the doggie rinse station! Your dog may get dirty, but you don't have to worry about taking him home that way! There's another feature that dog lovers will rave about: this park puts benches inside the play area!
Green Springs Park features a green-hued sulfur spring. It's no mystery where this park gets its name! If you want to bring your dog to explore the park, be sure to keep him on leash, as you don't want your best friend getting into anything here! There are walking trails throughout the park that offer good views and a chance to stretch your legs. Your dog will adore the heavy smells in the air as the sign that he's really on an adventure now! Your dog will not appreciate the interesting architecture or remains of an old health spa on the grounds, but you will find plenty to look at during your walk!
Audubon Park is a gorgeous place to walk your dog. If your pup doesn't enjoy watching kids play on the playground, this is park to get away from all of that. You can follow a nature trail down to a boardwalk over the swamp, which opens up on the other side to a large meadow area. Just going there and back could be a trip for dogs who don't need a lot of exercise. If that's just a warm up for your pup, don't fear! Audubon Park has more than enough room for a walk through the meadow to really work out that energy!
Kensington Estates features Campbell Park. This community oriented park is dedicated to providing plenty of space for people to exercise and children to play. While your dog won't enjoy the playground, she could have a great time exploring the soccer fields when they're not in use! You can also walk the paths through the park to get in your pet's exercise for the day! This park isn't the largest, but its convenient location makes it a favorite of the neighborhood. You should keep your dog on leash inside the park. Remember to bring a water bowl for your dog, as the fountains are human sized.

It's one of the busiest corridors in the city, but Winnipeg transit drivers said that's not what makes Graham Avenue such a challenge to navigate.
The Graham Avenue Mall, which stretches nine blocks through Downtown Winnipeg, sees 1,800 buses and 100,000 transit users every day.
But drivers say pedestrians running across the street to catch buses, beat the light, or just to get where they're going a few seconds faster has turned Graham Avenue into a chaotic roadway.
READ MORE: Man dies after being struck by Winnipeg transit bus
"You watch how many people shoot across," Tim Bahry said Tuesday, pointing at the Graham and Fort intersection.
Bahry has been driving buses for 17 years, and he said Graham Avenue between Main Street and the Hudson's Bay store on Vaughan Street may be the trickiest part of his workday.
"You have to keep your eyes open," Bahry said."There are people running out to catch buses on your blind side.
"It's very dangerous."
But transit drivers aren't the only ones that noticed the extra traffic.
Most pedestrians stopped by Global News Tuesday said they're guilty of running across the street or swerving on foot through buses.
A major part of the issue is caused by parallel bus stops located between Fort and Garry Streets. Commuters getting off buses on the north side of the road frequently run across to buses on the south side —; or vice versa.
Winnipeg has no jaywalking bylaw. Under the Manitoba Highway Traffic Act, "leaving the curb when not safe" only carries a fine of 113 dollars.
But with no plans to add more barricades, blocks, or to close off Graham Avenue to foot traffic like it is to cars, pedestrians and drivers can expect to see a lot of added stress in the near future.
