This relates to programming. I had a coworker who's first answer was always "no" then "but maybe we can..." we worked for an expensive consulting company charging 2k+ euro per day per person. His attitude was unpopular with the clients until our manager got him to start answering "yes" first, and then come up with how it could be yes instead of no.

Same results in the end but the impression by the clients improved a lot.

How can I get a job like that?

Enterprise consulting in one of those Bay Area multinationals that everyone knows... not a pleasant job because no one would hire us until the project was failing because we were so expensive and had to come to fix everything (the project, the code, the teams, etc)

Sorry, I don’t know. Any clues?

I like fixing problems.
