> Speaking from experience, I won't sugar coat it, you're not hire-able.

No sugar coating needed. That's why I'm asking this here, because I already had a hunch that was the case and figured if any group of people could have some experience with this situation it is the HN crowd.

I’d agree with the parent that your biggest challenge is going to be able to deal with a boss.

If you can get through that and make it clear in the process you should be more than fine.

If getting interviews is hard having a title of CTO or founder on your resume you change it to Director or Staff just to get into the process and explain it on the interview.

Make it clear in the interview you are ready to be a good office drone. Say you "respect the chain of command". Managers love that.

Make it clear you are not a primadona.

You are hire-able. Just wipe away any preconceived judgements.
