Pay is not much different at the junior to mid levels. And it’s also still cheaper than NY, so you can probably save more in Chicago.

If you have detailed questions about the course, please ask through the site or the Contact form so we can send you the direct links. This site is not for technical questions or how to approach case studies, study plans, etc., but is intended for general career topics and questions.

As mentioned above, we don’t have “everything” related to SaaS in the current course because it’s a “short” 10-hour module of a very long, 120+ hour course. There is analysis around bookings, deferred revenue, CAC, related metrics, and VC funding rounds, but there is no cohort analysis currently. I am aware that people want to see it. So when it is split off into a separate course, yes, we will re-do the entire case study and add it.

No, I don’t have an exact time frame because creating this volume of content takes months/years. But there will be more on these topics at some point this year.

As mentioned in my other comment, the Atlassian case study in the old/deprecated case studies section has more of a pure growth equity investment recommendation.

Module 14 of the course is what we currently have on these topics. You can also look at the old/deprecated case studies section for the Atlassian case study, which is decent but maybe not the most representative of a growth equity model. The written solutions and analysis at the end are more useful than the model itself.

Regarding the table of contents, yes, this is the issue when a module or chapter has 30-40 lessons. There is no good way to easily look through everything. This is why we are splitting up the entire course into shorter modules of 10-15 lessons each.

I have bought the course. Is Module 14 really the VC portion? While the content is great, the TOC is not the most intuitive. Are there any other places we should watch for core VC/GE materials. Have bought master access and want to make sure I’m not missing anything. Thanks!

Already covered in the Financial Modeling Mastery course. See the comments here: https://mergersandinquisitions.com/2022-end-of-year-reader-qa/

It is already more comprehensive than the WSP version (see the comments at the end). But we are going to split up the entire course and start selling parts of it, including this one, separately.

Are you planning a VC/GE course that discusses pre-money / post-money valuation, detailed term sheets, cap tables for Series A, B, C (impacts of things like liquidation preferences, converts, option pools etc.)? Both WSP and WSP have some version of this, with the latter covering things like retention and cohort analysis as well. Would be great for people to know if this is something coming down the pike and what the timing may be.

Thanks!

Yes, I would definitely start with something online if you only have to work 35-40 hours per week and can do so remotely. Ideas like real estate or vending machines can work, but they’re usually better for people who don’t have much money but who have time and can travel (vending machines) or people who already have enough money to comfortably buy properties (real estate). It’s also quite a pain to deal with all the tenant issues that come up 24/7, and if you hire a manager, that reduces your margins.
