Your attitude isn’t helpful or welcome here.
We all struggle with complex decisions from time to time; we all make mistakes, and most of us are far less perfect than we’d perhaps like to admit. Seeking advice from a peer group is a good step towards learning how to avoid the mistakes in the future.
“You’re an idiot and so is everyone you know” is not advice.
- grosjona 9y agoIt is advice. It means "You've had your shot, you failed, now let someone else have a go." Some people make it sound like raising investment is as trivial as buying a burger from Macdonald's. I haven't been to America yet but it sounds hard to believe.
- tibbetts 9y agoNo, but for the right people in the right place at the right time raising seed capital is about as difficult as applying for a job. It’s just that you have to invent and pitch the job. In that context you could think of the post as “I got this job by saying I was going to help the company do X. Six months in I’m pretty sure that’s not going to work. I think I should just quit, but some of my coworkers think I should keep trying, or consider doing X’, since there are a lot of things at the company which could be better. What should I do?”
