I am building a Hiring-Support-As-Service (HSaS) platform to assist SMBs and startups to hire better. Think recruiting tools & services with an unbiased, affordable fee structure.

Previously I worked on Wall Street for 24 years as an investment bank analyst, hedge fund portfolio manager, and derivatives trader & strategist. Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vfulco/.

Well said indeed. We're finally getting back to the unvarnished truth, it's only returns on capital that truly matters.

Comfortably estimating 90% of all the foreigners I know are leaving (or have already left) by the end of the year. End of energy and dynamism, possibly forever.

I blame companies with their ridiculous and morally corrupt, "fam this" and "fam that" when they sought to squeeze more productivity out of their workforce by playing on emotional connections to real blood family. So they got highly opinionated, grossly over-demanding employees as a result.

I struggle with it while focused intensely building my MVP which I am enjoying immensely. Take a walk with the dog often and be prepared and give yourself the time, when your body needs to shut down on periodic random days. It will let you know or else you will start getting sick more often (flu, common colds), etc.

I totally agree but we are fighting the tide (ran a resume, linkedin profile, and interview prep shop for 6 years). Everything in the process is being analyzed, parsed and benchmarked using AI, soon to a more granular level. I even came across some interview analysis software which measured the angle of the person's head along with tone and a bunch of other factors!

I've spent the last 6 years advising clients on resumes, interviews, linkedin strategies. Pivoted to supporting companies hiring.

The vast majority of clients did research on the platform and then were "checked out" by employers. The submit by linkedin attempts seemed to go into dark hole. Better to make a contact at the company and/or apply direct if you can.

Can't believe this site now has ~137 patterns and counting. It's an extraordinary reference for CDK and SAM users alike.

What a damn shame. To the vast majority of the world's viewers, it was simply an incredible movie. No need for social justice warrioring when people want to be entertained...
