Decoding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for Tech Workers event

Decoding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for Tech Workers

Thursday July 24, 9:00pm

New tax law, same tax code for tech workers… mostly.

President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law on July 4, 2025.

In terms of the impact to your taxes, this bill largely maintains the status quo by making permanent most of the tax changes introduced on a temporary basis through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017.

It does, however, add a few new wrinkles to the tax code.

I’m hosting a live webinar next week to break it all down for tech professionals like you.

🎙️ Webinar: Decoding the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for Tech Workers
🗓️ Date & Time: July 24, 2025 from 2-2:45 PM Pacific Time

👉 Anyone in a high-income bracket that pays a lot in state & local tax
👉 Folk planning to make Roth conversions in the next few years

Bay Area Meetup - 🍕 in Fremont event

Bay Area Meetup - 🍕 in Fremont

Saturday July 26, 8:00pm

Let's do another Fremont meetup! Come hang out, network, and/or have some good pizza! If 50 people show up, I heard Obama might come??

  • The pizzeria is a long walk/short drive/medium biking distance from Fremont Bart Station.
  • The food is 100% vegetarian with gluten free and vegan options.
  • The area around the restaurant is mostly just parking lots. Parking will not be a problem.

(All the pictures I have of Fremont are over the 1MB limit so I put a random picture in)

[Office Hours] Starting A Startup - Idea Feedback And Sharing event

[Office Hours] Starting A Startup - Idea Feedback And Sharing

Tuesday August 5, 5:00pm

This session is for wantrepreneurs (someone who wants to leave their full-time job and do a company) and early entrepreneurs. All attendees should be prepared to either pitch an idea or provide thoughtful feedback on other ideas.

In the last two decades, more money and attention have gone to early-stage startups. It's easier and cheaper than ever to start a startup, especially if you're an engineer!

Sample discussions:

  • Get feedback on the clarity of your idea, along with the opportunity size. Do you want a VC-scale outcome, or a "lifestyle business"?
  • Should you get pre-seed funding (generally $100K - $500K) from an accelerator?
  • How and when should you launch your product?

Also happy to share honest thoughts and feedback on well-known accelerators: Y Combinator, PearX, TechStars

What you get:

  • Hear ideas from other ambitious engineers to make your own idea/pitch better.
  • Taro (this platform!) is a YC-funded startup from S22. Rahul can share thoughts about how Taro got in and what he learned.
  • Rahul has personally reviewed and recommended 10+ companies that have gotten funding and launched their product.

Resources to take a look at:

This session will not be recorded. Group Office Hours are a communal way to get the personalized career advice you need.
