    I am about to embark on the absolutely loathsome quest of quickfiring my resume out to 200 tech companies I’ve never heard of with names like Kuttrbox and OpenYum, hoping for a place in their squid games to win a ‘prestigious’ founding role at their startup, and I’m sincerely considering making an absolutely batshit version just to see what happens. Ideas welcomed.

      Silicon Valley Quote

      Richard: It says here on your resume that from 2010 to 2011 you “crushed it”? 
      Applicant: That’s actually an old resume. It should also read that I crushed it from 2013 to present.
      Jared: So are we to understand that you did not “crush it” in 2012? 
      Applicant: There was a medical situation preventing me from crushing it to my usual standards. So I had to take some time off until I was able to crush it at 100%, at which point I resumed crushing it full-time.
