Everybody is free to start their own businesses or to get hired as a CPO at a booming startup. I see a lot of people complaining, but not that many actually using those very simple rigged opportunities to make 100M fast.
- ryandrake 4y agoThere are vanishingly small number of these positions in the world, and a vanishingly small percentage of that vanishingly small number are hiring. These positions are also gated by things that commoners do not have access to, like prestigious educational backgrounds and well-connected networks of executives. Same for becoming a founder. Unless you bootstrap, the minute you want to raise funding, you're more often than not going to be blocked by those same gates. This is a class issue, not a "seize the opportunity" issue.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI understand starting a business, but pulling off the kind of career moves the executive in question pulled off requires a level of grift that most honest people can't really fathom.
- asdff 4y agoWhy don't you have 100m? Or do you already have 100m?
- nlitened 4y agoI don't have 100m. I run a small bootstrapped business, and I know for a fact that running a business is a lot of hard work, so I don't share dismissive attitudes in comments.
