There is a huge arbitrage on the developer talent.

Like for instance, we, I would say, let's say $30,000 is something like, you know, you can get really, really good.

You can get senior engineers who are like coding amazing stuff for 30 grand.

You get nothing in the US for 30 grand.

I think we have about like eight people in the engineering team, five in the data team, and then rest is like all the other teams.

I focus a lot on the marquee client.

So I chase after one client and the rest of the team chases after all the clients.

Like I go very much like I'm going to close like one big name, like Morgan Stanley right now in the next six months.

So I have like some like, you know, individual one big client that I'm chasing after right now.

Well, actually, I think over time, my boss was very, very encouraging.

He was like, just go for it.

If you fail, then just come back and join it again.

I was in a firm called Golden's Capital based out of Stanford, Connecticut.

No, it was pretty cushy.

Actually, the other thing I was really interested in doing a PhD in economics on climate change induced financial depression.

And I was working with Professor Gary Gordon in Yale.

So I'm a Yale graduate in the master's program.

And I really, really wanted to do that because I was obsessed with the Great Depression in the early 1930s.

And I really saw a parallel coming in 2020s.

So that was like my whole thesis.
