Oh, no, that's exactly right.

And that's what happened.

When I went in for the interview, I did the interview for eight hours.

They liked me.

They saw that I had...

I read the 4,000 something annual reports and the boss said, you know, I found out later through the interview process, the main reason why they hired me is because the boss had said that I reminded him when he was young.

And so he said he liked that.

And when they kind of gave me the offer, he said, oh, you know, we're going to try you out for three months.

And I said, and I looked straight into the guy's face and I said, I'm going to prove you wrong.

And I did, you know, I was there for like almost four years.

So you're right.

I mean, it is all about the hustle.

And I think the main reason why they kind of took advantage of me was they knew that I didn't come from a good educational background, but at the end of the day, they wanted to say,

they were hedging their bets.

Say, you know what, we'll pay this guy this amount.

And if he works out great, if he doesn't, well, at least, you know, we don't have to pay that.

Yeah, that's correct.

Uh, part of it was salary.

Part of it was environment of, uh, you know, the actual hedge fund environment.

And part of it was knowing that the economy was going to collapse.
