I've see so a lot of jobs popping up related to SaaS for compliance right now, so things like helping companies stay on top of regulation and track their own efforts and initiatives. I do get the impression that a lot of it is done sincerely, but it does have a hint of ye olde 'selling shovels in a gold rush'.
Still, if it keeps people out of adtech and cryptocurrency it seems like a win.
- fragmede 3y agohow do you sell shovels in a gold rush insincerely?
- mcsniff 3y agoAll the easy gold has been dug up, and shovels are no longer practical.
- mongol 3y agoPerhaps if the gold rush is a scam? But if it is real, then it is honest work.
- kokanee 3y agoIt's sincere if you tell people that you sell shovels. It's insincere if you tell people that you will make all their prospecting dreams come true.
