Anyway, I now have all my stock, although I can't do anything with it because we're a private company. But at least it's mine now, though, I don't have to pay for it, I already paid then-minimal taxes on it, and if it's ever worth something, the profit is taxed as capital gains, not income. Pretty much the best case scenario. Remind me to send a box of chocolates to my lawyers.
So now what?
I hadn't really been thinking about "next steps" before because I was relatively happy and I was committed to sticking around long enough to get my stock.
Obviously it's in my best interests to stick around and do what I can to make SixApart as successful as possible, as that'd make my stock worth potentially more, but lately I'm growing bored with lack of stress, risk, speed, and human interaction (I'm not really in a group here). Plus I'm not convinced I couldn't be just as helpful to SixApart outside of SixApart.
I have some new stuff I want to do and am getting really excited about, but it'd be too boring/slow for me to do entirely myself, so the current question is if I try to get resources inside SixApart to do it, or go elsewhere and do it. Or do something else entirely.
In the short term, I'm going to see what's possible here, but this boredom can't go on much longer before I snap. I need to be in a team of excited, fast-moving people stressing the fuck out (in a fun way) on challenging and important problems. I miss that.
