Who wrote this
For more than ten years I ran APAC sales teams at Twilio, New Relic and Deel. I enjoyed the work, but the targets kept climbing. My wife Jaq and I built property alongside our careers, and that gave us the choice to step away. These are the questions I wish I'd asked earlier.
The seven questions
- What does my life actually cost each year once the salary stops?
- How many unvested RSUs would I walk away from on my last day?
- How much of my wealth is sitting in one ticker?
- How will a lender read my bonus and commission history?
- Should I lock in my borrowing while I still have a payslip?
- What tax will I pay when my shares vest, and when I sell?
- What does my next property need to do: income, growth or both?
Three of these belong with your broker or accountant. The email tells you which, and why each one matters.
