hmmmm in my mind I had the exact inverse definition of what you said. For me “mentor” is exactly what you defined as “coach” and for me “coach” is exactly what you defined as “mentor”. I never was or had any formal mentor or coach, so the

I would appreciate a list of web3 projects that don’t have and explicitly don’t want to have any VC involvement (or big company involvement, as it would mean the same thing). I am interested in learning what that liberty it might bring to t

Look for companies that hire globally remote but are not explicitly targeting “low-cost” countries with their job ads (those that do are trying to make the salary arbitrage work on their benefit, you are trying to make it work on your ben

One that live in Brazil would be around that. I do, I am mid level, but I work for a company in the US hiring globally remote. So I earn more than that because I speak English and take the time to find companies that are paying US salaries.

I don’t think so. I just think they are a bullshit artist. Where is that very critical HN opinions of extrovert MBAs that don’t or know do anything, but keep getting promotions because they are good at bullshitting? Suddenly if it is a fel

Doubling an offer is a red flag for me too. Blatant lowballing which, in my view as well, is disrespectful. This “non-competition for 6 months is nothing” is also a red flag, in my view, for the whole tech scene then. It doesn’t make it rig

I think talking through an algorithm puzzle solution during an interview gives you no signal at all of how well an employee would communicate in the scenario you described.

I agree. Patrick should take a look in how Pix works (and how it was deployed and had immediate traction and explosive growth, a rare good innovation from the state). Pix is incredible and revolutionary. https://www.bloomberg.com
