Honestly, being underestimated is glorious. It’s a lot easier to just absolutely crush it if people have no expectations for you.

It’s so obvious when a leader has been surrounded by “yes” people for far too long. Honesty and sincere guidance is more valuable than just placating egos

As kids, adults told us we fast in big part to sympathize with the poor & hungry, but it felt abstract because thankfully we did not know people who were famished. Today, many of us have friends or families who are starving or food insecure in Gaza so this Ramadan is different.

Anyway, if you’re hiring, I’m interested in strategy/operations. I also have finance experience, People Ops experience, an MBA, can build salesforce/tableau/HubSpot dashboards, know enough SQL to review/edit queries, & use data analyses for every major life decision. Plus
I’ve had 4 different roles at 3 companies I was shortlisted to interview for and then gotten rejected before the first interview because of a reorg. I’m so tired of this market. 1 was a VC funded startup, 2 were Google (for 2 roles) & Citi.
