[quote=Anonymous]Some of it is cultural. Some of it is an unvoiced fear driven by predictable changes.

I consult with a group in San Jose. I'm in my late 30s. I've seen 3 major downturns in my career. They were each preceded by excessive hiring.

When vc money is flowing companies randomly hire people. Some major tech firms could cut 40 percent of current workers and not negatively impact productivity.

We also have a problem driven by the fact that survival in tech is driven by creativity. And we spent a decade encouraging people to go into tech who aren't creative. Our interns aren't coming up with ideas. They're trying to use ai to do their work and then they wonder why the human middleman gets cut out.

Lean into humanity and survive and thrive.

Real generational wealth involves a mindset. My family lost everything twice in Europe in the 20th century due to wars and hyperinflation. I'd say the mindset to rebuild from nothing and not die in 1945 is worth more than a trust fund. If you like to build, like to create, you will always be a tomorrow. If you exist to spend a trust fund it will be spent down.[/quote]
