I cannot emphasize how much this advice hurts people “Passion, attitude, and vision”. I’m not saying it’s wrong or that it’s not helpful to people applying for jobs at Amazon in Seattle, but it’s so woefully out of touch with the times and what is needed now it’s disheartening. 1. All this passion, attitude, and vision stuff is just recycling of the same 1970’s self-help lingo dressed up for a new era. I personally really like Tony Robbins and certainly passion and attitude help a lot, but after a certain point there simply aren’t enough fucking jobs for people and those that are have seen stagnant wages for the last FORTY YEARS. Like seriously, if you’re in tech, you should be making a minimum of 400k if capital was dispersed like it was in 1960s in the US. That means a programmer in SF should be seeing close to $1,000,000. 2. Advocating passion, attitude, and vision in any form, and encouraging people to pour more effort into an overheated, crowded business space is not what is needed. Please just stop, and start a local Facebook group or join Nextdoor or something. We’re in a huge tech bubble, all those jobs won’t mean much soon anyway. EDIT: Just saw the author was an MBA. I rest my case.
