If it's never been easier to be a CEO, perhaps the author should consider it. It's the easiest job title to legitimately acquire. You just need to pay a few hundred bucks to incorporate in Delaware, and boom, you're a CEO.
- tareqak 7y agoHi 'lacker, I detected a note of sarcasm in your response, but I don't have sufficient context to decipher its meaning myself. Given that you were a founder for two YC companies as it says in your HN profile, could you please explain what you are implying? I skimmed the article: it gives pretty good details on the arguments that it is trying to make. The one thing I would change would be the headline to read "It’s Never Been Easier to Be a Fortune 500 / Unicorn C.E.O., and the Pay Keeps Rising" to reflect the specific kind of CEO that the article author talks about.
