made a morning alarm that plays a playlist. every day at 5 am. i now get up to lovely songs than the buzz kill of a traditional alarm. now im on to making it a more general media player accessible over local network.
Eat right, drink water, walk regularly. Get a goal: maybe do a marathon in 6 months? Get a coach to get you there. This will be infinitely less than 100k.
more and more programming. still not great. just good-ish.

Re:Ask HN: How is your job search going? on Thursday November 30, 2023 @01:20AM (#38470316)
not too great. not a single response. like throwing job apps into a blackhole.
not everything is a tech problem. sometimes it is sales and marketing and just downright ignorance and chuck-it-to-tech on part of the operations team.
just hire. you will figure it out. a lot of people i know often wait for the 'perfect' candidate to show up at the door in a halo of divine light. aint gonna happen. most of the 'A-players' on my team currently were hired less on technical chops and more on un-measurables like 'sincerity', 'attitude'. these same people, now, with the benefit of decades of working together, would not hire themselves as they were when they joined.

in a nutshell: for a startup as early stage as yours, you need people. you will figure out what you need as you go along.

you've never 'made it'. every day is a struggle to start afresh and prove your worth. the moment you think 'you've arrived' is the day your downfall starts/

Thanks for your response. I am in touch with the big names like Korn Ferry etc. But are there other individual names you can recommend?
Thank you for responding. Whats an agent? Can you recommend some that I can reach out to? I've thought of investors, but I am an employee and the company is still in existence. So reaching out to investors may be perceived as being in bad taste
Not so great. Not a single call yet. This after having spent over a decade as CTO at a startup, built all products and teams from scratch. Dont know where I am going wrong. But.. hope is what makes the world go round!
do you want to transition to IC role within the same company? if so, then dont. IMHO. - tough to reset power equations. people may not be comfortable around folks they have reported to many levels above. - 6 years of mgmt role is good experience to leverage for something else. - if you've just had a kid, an IC role might be tough to manage. - if you still want to do it, one way could be to take on small tasks that dont hold uyp the release almost independently for some time. and then when you think you are ready, do it.

but honestly, im not even sure how mgmt will see this. companies usually dont like people demoting themselves. best look for a new company. all IMHO
