It's like there were a lot of unpaid internships. It got me my foot in the door. It worked for me. I also worked a lot of overtime that I didn't get paid for. I did a lot of shit that wasn't a part of my job to impress my bosses, to make myself indispensable so that they would decide like we have to keep this guy on and pay him. And it worked for me.

And I just wanted to add, because this is not in the original thing, a big part of why it worked for me is that I'm talking about a few different companies here, but particularly at Cracked, where I had the internship, like my bosses, you know, made a choice to mentor me and, you know, to get me, you know, to work overtime on their own behalf to like make sure I got a paying job.

which is a big part of like the luck that I encountered that a lot of people don't. So that's another major part of like why things worked out for me is that I just got incredibly lucky with the people I was working for and with. That's bad. It's not good that things work that way, right? It's not healthy.

That said... If I am giving someone – if someone wants what is the most likely path to succeeding? I've just got this job working at this production company or a music studio. I would say, well, your best odds are to make yourself completely indispensable and become obsessively devoted to that task, right? That's – I don't tend to give that advice anymore.

I have, and I have had several other friends succeed as a result of it. And all of us also burnt ourselves out and did huge amounts of damage to ourselves. Like I am permanently broken as a result of, of, You know, the 10 years that I did 80 hour weeks and shit, you know, now you're sounding like somebody who works in the entertainment industry. Yes.

And it worked for me. Right. I got up. I got it. I succeeded. I got a great job. I got money. Most people, it doesn't. And it's bad that it works this way. Ziz, unlike me, is not willing to do that. right? She thinks it's wrong to be asked to work overtime and not get paid for it. And so on her first day at the job, she leaves after eight hours and her boss is like, what the fuck are you doing?

And she's like, I'm supposed to be here eight hours. Eight hours is up. I'm going home. And he calls her half an hour later and fires her, right? And this is because the tech industry is evil, you know? Like, this is bad. She's not bad here. It is like a thing where it's, she's not doing by her standards.

What I would say is the rational thing, which would be if all that matters is optimizing your earning power, right? Right. Well, then you do this, then you do do whatever it takes. Right. Um, so it's kind of interesting to me, like that, that she is so devoted to this, like virtue ethics thing at this point that she fucks over her career in, in the tech industry.
