The job market is absolute garbage. Its depressing, but hey, time to regain the agility that made the valley what it once was. Meetup with friends and former co-workers. Brainstorm solutions to todays problems. Forget doomsday scrolling social media. Time to create something new. Are you going to build?
Where that money thing. I want to start-up
Being on Visa in this market fucking blows.
99% of people on blind are h1b from India. You can’t start companies with that kinda status.
Spin up your business while working. Enjoy those Cali labor law protections but don't be stupid and use corporate IP.
Being good at leetcode is not a skill that helps you start a company lol Many people are figuring out what their true market rate for their skills is for the first time
Most of the largest and most successful companies were built by people that had 0 skills and figured it out and learned what was needed. Small subset of Skills won't build a company
Agreed. That requires ambition though Not mfs that chase “prestige” for arranged marriages and TC
DM me if u want to help me build a crypto infrastructure company.
🤮
Yes banks keep collapsing but crypto is gross. Remove ur bias and look at the space as a movement.
Yesssss please more of this
I agree 💯 Anyone looking to brainstorm ideas, let's start a discord or slack and do it as a group.
ah yes. Lets StArT a ComPAnY in market tightening conditions where demand of ALREADY EXISTING products is projected to crumble. Blind has taught me one thing -tech companies should have taken the Twitter route much much sooner. Companies will THRIVE by getting rid of 70% of these eNGiNeErS.
Best time? Literally. Do some research or at least ground yourself in basics before spewing bs.
Literally the best time to “steal” your share of the market is when demand for existing solutions is shrinking. Just find a niche and a real problem. You’re insane if you think there just aren’t things out there that need solutions.
Problem is that vc funding is gone. Its a double whammy with recession and high interest rates
Things will be back to normal by the time you are ready for funding. And even better, others will have been dissuaded from even starting bc of the low current funding. Low investment opportunity supply + increasing VC demand for investment opportunities will put you in a sweet spot
