I am interested in working on ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER that’s why I’m looking to create a social media app to compete with TikTok and Instagram.
That typically is code for “Things that matter TO ME, the coked up owner, manager, idea man.”
It means be prepared for a 4am phone call hour-long rant about why you used indigo instead of light purple on the design that they signed off on, ensure network stability on AWS for a delusional 1+billion concurrent user signup, and since you have the knowhow, help his kid’s iPad connect to the office Wifi.
If it’s 100x harder and more stressful than any other jobs, would it be fair to assume they’d pay about 100x the market rate?
AI photo sharing app? Nah thanks, bro
phototeca is an ai photo sharing app funded by the billionaire investor bill ackman.
Any social media app competes with Instagram and TikTok. It’s not a fair fight, and nobody will ever hear the new apps name, but they are technically still competing.
You’d think they’d at least say you’d be rewarded for your hard work with large stock options and bonuses or something, but they just say “shaping the future” and “gaining skills”.
You are not seeing the big picture here.You should think more like billionaire investor Bill Ackmann

But, but… The CEO is a “Gladiator in social network multiverse”, how could anything ever go wrong.Before anyone asks - Yes - That is the verbatim tagline on this chump’s linkedin.
