This comment really strikes a chord. There's not enough awareness around the actual privilege wealth affords. The majority of the tech titans today come from similar affluent backgrounds. Thank you for sharing your story. I would love more examples of successful folks who share a tough past.

Thank you for that candid response. Once you get over the barrier of being in a network it seems like you get to work on some really interesting and challenging problems. I don't understand why there is such an inherent bias to being multidimensional.

Yea, definitely looking into product management. I would like to be a co-founder one day but before that I'd like to start with a solid foundation. For now I'm happy to help someone else build and realize their vision.

That is an ideal position and it sounds like you're learning a lot too. To an outsider it would difficult to find a position like this unless you actually have first hand knowledge. Thank you for the insight, I just sent you an e-mail.

I was considering early stage startups but yes the main concern with that would be the financial constraints. I agree on all the other points, thank you.

Yup, thats a great analogy. I never really thought of product management but that does make sense. I'll add it to the list, thank you

Thank you for the well thought out comment. It does seem like depth over breadth is prized when being hired for a specific position. This seems the most likely approach, and you're absolutely right about the resume not being the job.
