I'ved used Privacy.com for a few years now and it is a superbly excellent tool. I highly recommend their product for personal and business use.

Privacy and helps keep track of subscription expenses and helps me maintain/be aware budget and/or subscription increases.

The only downside occurs when you are trying to process a refund for a card that was already closed.

I've been in Austin for a number of years.

Austin has the whole "supply chain" of startups - from accelerators to large & mid-size technology companies. The network is close-knit but easy to access and people are very friendly here. Combine all of the aforementioned with the cost of living (albeit, it's increasing) and you have a great city to live in.

Highly recommend.

If you end up coming out here, please let me know and I'll buy you a coffee and am happy to introduce you to others/local events.

I did not cross over from Software Engineering, but did transition from Engineering to Finance.

I would suggest understanding what part of Finance is the most interesting to you. Are you interested in Technical Analysis (i.e focusing on characteristics of the market as opposed to characteristics of the company) or do you find Fundamental Analysis more interesting (i.e interested in the core business of a company and their published financials)?

If you are interested in Technical Analysis, I would suggest taking a few courses online to understand trading strategies. If Fundamental Analysis is more appealing, I would focus on taking courses in Accounting.

Once you have a foundation in investment strategies, try producing content on Quantopian.com - build a portfolio and search for positions at firms.

If you have a strong enough interest, a firm will pick you up.

I really don't understand all the hate that Linkedin gets on HN.

In my opinion, Linkedin is one of the better social networks - devoid of clutter and politics since each posting is connected to your professional network/appearance.

I generally try to follow a theme of books.

For example, I read the following books:

1) Counter-Insurgency: Theory and Practice (superb book) 2) General Patraeus 3) Obama: The Long Game 4) Ben Bernanke: The Courage to Act

As you can see, the books transition from warfare, to politics, to economics; each book is related to the other - this helps me really grasp all the factors at play within subsequent books

Without knowing all the details (i.e what state your company is in, if it has multiple locations, etc.), I would reach out to the state the LLC is registered in and submit a "Certificate of Merger" where the surviving entity is a Foreign (i.e not in the same state/country). NOTE: You'll also have to file a Certificate of Amendment stating that the LLC is accepting a Merger. You most likely will have to file similar paperwork in the acquiring company's HQ location.

ALTERNATIVELY, If you'd just like to transfer the LLC to a foreign entity, you can file a "Certificate of Transfer" (Section 18-213) - but I believe this isn't your specific use case.

NOTE: I used Delaware as an example, your own state's regulations may vary. For more questions, consult a lawyer or your Registered Agent Service.

Very cool and I intend to use this more frequently.

I would recommend breaking out information into categories (e.g "commodities", "bonds", etc.) for easier reading

Keep up the great work!
