i totally, utterly and completely understand where you're coming from re Mrs B3 - TDV is exactly the same.beansnikpoh said:
Yeah, I'm getting ahead of myself a bit really! I'm OK where I am, let's see how the interview goes.MattFalle said:
so it hits the working from where you want box - sorted.beansnikpoh said:
I can work from my London house, or in the gherkin with a bike commute. Or from my Porlock house or the Bristol office with a car commute. Pretty flexible.MattFalle said:
thats all very well but whats the ahem, scenery like?beansnikpoh said:They've just got a big tranche of equity funding to expand into Europe, US and APAC. They're hiving off tech co with all the IP with all the TP implications of that. VAT is an issue as they're not a lender, just a clearing bank, so zero rated or exempt clearance application for their service fees is a competitive advantage. Expansion via branches or legal entities or acquisition? As I said, all equity funding, the balance sheet is super simple, as is the corporate structure. Debt and how to structure that will come into it soon Im sure. I'm not going in with closed eyes. I think youngish agile tech companies are the future. I have a host of questions.
There's the opportunity to build out a team, someone with FATCA/CRS reporting experience, a VAT guy, CT compliance to outsource, and me to think about structuring, strategy and transfer pricing.
I said from the start I'm settled. It will need to be right. I've worked for companies with >50k employees for 25 years. A change down could be good. Plus potential IPO gains if that's part of the package. Home working primarily, with offices in London and Bristol, and I'll hopefully have homes near both soon enough.
My employer is still very Japanese. It can be frustrating, local staff arent really valued. I could put up and shut up for 20 years, but I might have a smidge of not exactly ambition, but want to properly shape a tax function.
you know, the important stuff
1. showers
2. coffee
3. scenery
I've given up coffee for mint tea. Palpitations greatly reduced, sleep quality still shyyte, but better.
If you mean feminine scenery. It's a fintech. It's fat computer blokes in red dwarf t shirts endlessly whining about being celibate. Or sales tw@ts banging on about their watches and Du-fcuking-bai.
The senior management are ex-proper bankers. I meet 2 tomorrow, they know their censored . I'm hoping they don't see through my de Pfeffel bluster and bombast.
I'm in 2 minds. I'm getting oldish, I'd like to fund my retirement properly, We have 7 years of school fees plus mini's University education if that's what she wants. But I have it relatively easy where I am for what I'm paid. Mrs B³ brings down the dough, so more money for a lot more stress isn't that appealing. Unless it's share options that vest on a potential IPO and mortgages disappear, and I can do something academic which means I can wear elbow patches.
a shame to have to give up yhe black gold but hey, if the mint tea is doing good stuff then its a winner. TDV has found a line of teas that she loves and has all herbally benefits - will take s snappity pic for you in a bit.
ah. now thats a glitch. at least it mskes you hot stuff. well even hotter than you normally are. the new office totty.
suss them out as much as they are sussing you out. you sin't de pffeffel - we all know you know your stuff do just go in and kickarse like you do best.
its a tricky one - and one that i think you can only decide on once/if they make an offer snd once you've discussed it with Mrs B3. What does she want? She may be happy for you to follow your academic dream now. You never know, she may hsve a dmsll private fancy for elbow patches....
whats your priority?
What Mrs B³ wants changes all the time...she a strong woman, and all for feminism, but when I mentioned I might want to take my foot off the pedal a bit, do something different, it was like I'd killed her cat...that's for her to do on my money, not vice versa....🙄.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Thankfully, never went out with any woman wo was materialistic and the current Mrs P isn't either. We split things fair and square - your turn my turn sort of thing.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

We do it so that the majority of our earnings go into the joint account, that pays for most things. Anything left might go on meals out, drinks and other stuff. Kids are still the priority, then household stuff. Everything else is a luxury.0
