After 30 years in the tech industry, a few important things I’ve learned:

- Don’t be married to your job, always spend time with your real family

- No matter what, your job is not a family, and they will drop you in a heartbeat

- Don’t work for a female CEO; just being honest🤷

- If your CEO was an engineer in a past life, be careful they don’t try and “help out”, that’s a sign to get out asap

- Whoever you work with should respect work/life boundaries, no matter what, even if it’s a start-up. There are zero advantages to slaving over the work.

- Be careful of Y Combinator and Silicon Valley types
