I remember being fresh out of school in peek free money era and couldn’t find anything. It was brutal. The only way i got out of it was by accepting help from an uncle who got me an internship at his company. After that one tiny bit of experience, i found a job at a php shop.

I dont think much has changed. It has always been who you know. I was fortunate enough to have an uncle.

Every single new hire i see is either the child of two fango mango parents or a visa. I rarely ever talk to someone with a different background.

In startup world, everyone had theater degrees or dropped out. It was amazing. I miss it.
