If you can still hit the gym and get adequate amounts of sleep, thereโs little reason to look for โbalanceโ on a work day in your 20s. Work hard towards a big mission alongside a group of dedicated peopleโฆand youโll save money cuz @Traba_Work is paying for dinner.

True - we wouldn't be satisfied with $24B.
2. Linkedin Should Have Been More Valuable than Facebook:. We did not have an Olympian work ethic. We had French engineers who worked 35 hours per week. Reid could not get the stellar quality of talent Mike has been able to get and that propagates across the team.
