I’m curious what other folks on HN find appealing, if anything, about becoming CEO. Personally it seems like a queen honey bee role, which sounds awesome at first but once you get a closer look you see its more like slavery to production, whithering externalities and merciless judgement.
- tim333 7y agoCEOs in general get an unfair share of the money and acclaim. Also you get to be in charge kinda. I mean look at the wework guy as an extreme example - largely trashes the company and walks with $2bn or so.
- solveit 7y agoStarting your argument with "in general" and following up with a self-admittedly extreme example is... not good argumentation. The fact that Softbank threw money away in a rather spectacular fashion doesn't at all speak to whether typical CEO compensation is fair.
- perl4ever 7y agoLook at Carlos Ghosn for another extreme example in a different direction.
