[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, OP, what is it that you do for a living? [/quote]

I do one level below C level work. So I hide in the shadows. My main expertise is starting things. Very good at it. I am very very bad at day to day work. Also bad at reporting to micro managing people.

I like start ups anything looks good, I like big big companies where I hid.

I often report to board some jobs. Make then happy no one else cares.

I also do get laid off a lot. I always go for the money whether qualified or not. I am now at $600,000 in lifetime severance checks. [/quote]

So you're an idea guy, not a process guy?[/quote]

I know 90 percent about 100 percent of things. But I am not a process guy nor a guy good at day to day work. As you know I can't spell and get distracted super easy. I also hate meetings. Yes I did Director level Big Four consulting and all those pitch decks. I can talk on anything at the Powerpoint level. I appear the amartest person you know and the biggest idiot you know. Sometimes on same day.

People hire me as without a script I can ramble. I once spoke for minutes on a subject when speaker called in sick last miinute no notes in front of 200 people at a conference. Folks were super super impressed. But next as a speaker I dont prepare, cant read my own handwirtting slides are sloppy and they go this dude had six months and this is crap he has.

So in person at Board meetings, conferences, interviews I run the table. But I have no techical skills. I also have deep connections to get info and a massive drop box of data on prior projects I keep re-using. I guess I am like Biden, Obama, they read off a script and know enought at powerpoint level.

BTW you be suprised how many CEOs know hardly anything. I worked with at least 40. Heck Jaimie Dimon used to read my reports and he loved them. I  re-used some six sgima crap to crete it. [/quote]
