From Confused Engineer to Building This Site
When I got my first RSU grant at a tech company, I had no idea what I was doing. I made every mistake in the book—and it cost me over $15,000 in unnecessary taxes.
I sold my RSUs the day they vested without thinking about tax implications. I didn't know about wash sales, so I accidentally reset my cost basis. I had no idea California would take 13.3% on top of federal taxes.
The worst part? Every resource I found was either behind a paywall, tried to sell me financial products, or was written for Wall Street—not for software engineers.
So I built WealthyNoob as the resource I wish I had. Every calculator, every guide, every piece of advice comes from real experience navigating tech compensation at companies like Google, Amazon, and startups.
This site is 100% free. No paywalls. No "premium tiers." No selling your data. Just practical tools and advice for engineers, by engineers.
