I never sniffed a cubicle.
I sold big ticket software for 27 years. 3 startup exits as well.
Real work. With real expectations & pressure.
Lots of fake work out there. Lots.
Companies I worked for hired more people based on how well I did.
Discussion
For real, cantilionaire effect is real. We are now mostly a parasite economy leaching as middle men between people who buy and provide real stuff. Just look at our cities, no longer factories or production facilities, just office blocks..
Most work I see is charity. Big Companies are forced to hire people.
I visited so many companies in my time. Id always ask what the fuck most of the people were doing there. Just sitting around.
Very true, what do U recommend to young people now though?
Sales or write code. That’s it.
Sell anything. Get a real quota. Get in front of people. Learn to public speak.
Write code but become the direct liaison to the business (support the sales team directly if you can). Be Indispensable. A Revenue producer. Don’t be a back room guy & hide.
