[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very similar to Vance; grew up lower middle class with a dysfunctional family besotted with mental health and addiction issues (but it sounds like a LOT less violence or drama, mine was more low key alcoholism)

I ended up going to an elite school, but in science because I loved the subject, and my career so far has been pretty limited (some government labs after earning my MS). I would have loved to get into tech, but never cracked that code

Vance however transitioned into VC pretty easily right out of law school, before his rise to prominence with Hillbelly Elergy presented as a rubric to understanding Trumps ascendency.  I can’t figure out if he had some legal skills or accomplishments that were groundwork for that VC pivot, but I feel our similar backgrounds would hold some lessons?[/quote]

Not accurate.

Hillbilly Elegy was part of his work at Thiel's firm.

You know how some people hire an underemployed person to camp out in line to get tickets to a show or to buy th new iPhone?

That's what Thiel hired Vance to do, to hold a place in government for Thiel to buy. [/quote]

Such a great analogy.[/quote]
