"The argument is that you haven’t totally screwed them. They’re paid a decent salary from day 1. They’ve been completely de-risked"

$60k a year? Are you fucking kidding me? And what about the opportunity cost of wasting 9 or more months?

It's never right to lie to people. What's the difference between this rationalization and the seeds of sociopathy?

I agree. I had this advice from more than one person, which was literally shocking to me.

The ratio of people offering me this advice was on a 3/10 scale, but it really made me wonder? Do we need to be horrible people to succeed? I don't agree with that.
