briefly talked to a very early startup ceo because they had a job that’s like Exactly What I’m Fucking Good At but then came to my senses because i am not gd 29 years old anymore and hustling like that is not good for me

im lying here because i wasnt even out of grad school yet at 29 lmao

I felt ancient at 30 at my last startup. It’s a young person’s game, once you get older you realize that being overworked and underpaid with no job security just for the chance of a future payout actually kinda sucks. Big companies also have R&D projects but your livelihood isn’t banked on them.
