How to plan it
Sit the shop year before the public cash-max loop
A 26-year-old who can ship systems should sit Jane Street and Netflix as two cash books, not one high-band market. Jane Street prints $525k typical on the ledger with a $250k base. Netflix prints $400k with a $326k base you keep. The shop compounds the year. The streamer compounds the floor inside a public book. If you need the 2027 cash year and can clear the NY loop, take Jane Street first — it leads the pair by about $125k. If you want the higher base and a thicker sample without a shop interview, sit Netflix — but name the tradeoff. Do not treat a $525k shop year and a $400k public cash year as the same next seat. The title is shared; the books are not.
