How would one try to make it on one of these lists? No one said these people aren't smart or likely to succeed.

- xwdv 3y agoSince you’re aspiring to be on the list, you might already be a grifter. Might as well just put “Forbes 30 under 30” in a resume or LinkedIn profile with no context and you’ll get most of the benefit without actually being on the list. No one is going to check. If they ask just have some random placeholder website for a professional looking “tech consulting” business or something to direct people to, where the income is impossible to verify.
- acyou 3y agoAsking for a friend... In all seriousness, I was alluding to the likely way that people get on these lists. Success doesn't necessarily mean being a great technical person, it means knowing exactly where, when and how to grease the wheels. In life, being a "grifter" is often what it takes to be successful. It's a different kind of hard work. Not everyone really understands it, I wouldn't discount it.
