The piece states that you shouldn't worry about short term $, you should worry about gaining skills and experience so that you can -- some day -- be the boss.
Early in your career, if you're aspire to be great, you should really just take on as many projects and get as close to the leadership as possible. The good news, if that if you take on a lot the leadership will naturally get close to you -- because that's how they (probably) got their slot in leadership.
I've seen many folks go for the quick money (say at a big company) and miss out on the massive experience you can gain being part of a startup (even, perhaps especially, if that startup fails).
>Never leave work before she does, respond to her emails quickly and without excuses. Here are things to say to her when she gives you amazing responsibilities that will make her love and trust you more.
>Don’t bust your ass and sharpen your skills for your boss alone, do it for yourself and your boss. Taking on all the problems at a startup is not being taken advantage of — it’s taking advantage of.
>Don’t worry about your salary, just get enough money to live in a closet close to work.
Is this guy serious? Is this satire?
