Fund/Build/Scale

“Cultural fit” is a polite way to say “personal bias”

Today is my 55th birthday!

I was planning to take the day off, but I started thinking about a few people my age who work in tech and have been recently laid off.

Unlike workers in their 20s and 30s, they’re facing a very different set of pressures: family, college payments, aging parents, retirement, etc. Most of the ones I know are having a hard time landing interviews, let alone full-time jobs.

This is the shortest episode I’ve ever released, so technically, I guess that makes this a hot take. I generally avoid those, but it’s my birthday and I’m feeling self-indulgent. 🎂🥳

Thanks for listening!
