I had a friend that was a high school drop out that got a job with an A+ video game company with no experience. An ex girlfriend got a job as a Designer at Microsoft with a portfolio of a essentially stick figures. An old college friend got a PM job at google with a sports science degree. SPORTS SCIENCE. This isn't about skill, it is about falling in line.
Those people aren't in my life anymore because of that. These people succeeded in life without trying and is unacceptable for companies to hire in a world with an abundance of skill.
Forget about passion. That has never mattered when people with not understanding of how software works gets a position in a software company. Plenty of people are passionate about tech, but also want to work in operations.

- NewOrderNow 6y agoYes because I stated that this relationship is built on talent. I suppose I should have people sign contracts these days because of sociopaths who believe in all that being nice propaganda
- cmdshiftf4 6y ago>This isn't about skill, it is about falling in line. They were likely hired because the companies saw potential in them, just as companies clearly see no potential in you. Cutting people from your life in a fit of jealousy and spewing bile towards randoms online over your self-imposed lot in life isn't going to get you anywhere productive. You should get some professional help.
- NewOrderNow 6y agoNeither is being nice cunt. It gets you nowhere.
- juli1pb 6y agoHow do you know why they were hired? Were you here? I feel lot of hate and frustration in your comments. If people got nice jobs, celebrate.be happy for them. No time to be a hater, love is the answer!
- NewOrderNow 6y agoYeah my parents tried to kill me when I was 12. Why would I be happy for anyone? Why would I be happy for people I grew up with that failed upwards?
