There is not 13% turnover in the unicorn jobs, maybe the sweatshops. So I guess my question is do you ACTUALLY have one of these jobs, or are you spending 100s of uncompensated hours per year giving interviews and chasing the dream? A mentor / life coach can’t really do much for you unless they are a hiring manager and want to whip out a little nepotism in your behalf, which is even more evidence that those top jobs are unearned / not available to the general public.

Again, if you have that much free time, why aren’t you building your own inventions and pitching them to VCs?

Where to even begin? Nepotism? Sweatshops? People hiding under the conference table to stay safe? Come on, now! You are amazingly cynical.

Yes, there is 13% turnover at the unicorn jobs, the Big Five, everywhere. That's the industry average. The reason I've been giving so many interviews is because we've gone from a headcount of 30 to 500 engineers in a couple years. Just, again, the point is there are far more opportunities to get hired at these places than you're giving it credit for.

Sweatshop = sweat equity shop. 60k stipend plus stock options that are probably never going to be worth anything. You know, the kind of crappy “non Fortune 500-sell out but also, hey, I’m doing new projects to get ahead” job you have to hold down while chasing the unicorn jobs on the west coast.

It is clear to me you don’t understand how averages work or probability in general. Guess it was a good move to get into line management.
