 1 | # Financial literacy for computer science students
 2 | 
 3 | I will be using this page to collect notes and slides I'll be preparing for the lecture series of the same name at UT Austin. 
 4 | 
 5 | Note that this is not an official course, and you do not get any credit for attending the lectures.
 6 | 
 7 | ## Meeting Time (Spring 2024)
 8 | 
 9 | When: Every Monday, from 4 - 5 PM CST
10 | 
11 | Where: GDC 5.302
12 | 
13 | Registration required: no (just show up!)
14 | 
15 | ## Why do this?
16 | 
17 | Thanks to the tech boom, CS students enjoy the privilege of high compensation when they join tech companies. 
18 | However, until that point, they may not have had any training or experience in dealing with large amounts of money. 
19 | Working at tech companies also involves things like Restricted Stock Units and vesting, which students may not be familiar with.
20 | This lecture series aims to close that gap and provide students with basic knowledge in financial literacy. 
21 | 
22 | ## Is there anything new here?
23 | 
24 | No. All the information I'm presenting is available freely on the web, in various places.
25 | I am merely collecting this information together and presenting it in one place. 
26 | 
27 | ## Are the meetings recorded?
28 | 
29 | No. We would like to encourage free Q n A during these meetings/lectures. So they are not recorded.
