It helps when your board are friendly, the company is worth billions, and you're outperforming everyone's portfolio.
The place we went for dinner after... fine dining and we hired a private room, but 2 people had to go to the airport and so we were afraid we weren't going to hit the min spend of $5K for the room... result, the investor (who was paying for this) asked for the wine list. The wine we drank was more than my monthly income.
Also went to somewhere called French Laundry which was pretty nice.
Hard to get a burger in Napa Valley though... even breakfast was fine dining and it gets old very fast.
I still don't know how I came to be here... but I'm 2nd to the CTO in this company of 550 engineers. All of the above is succession planning, exposure to the CTO role and to this level of investor and customer.
