In my short time in an actual tech company, I was baffled at the amount of cockiness. It was a startup though.
I was easily the most senior person outside of management, yet others got positions in management from the start. I did have management experience and significant success but I lack the ability to sell it.
When I complained that this isn’t what I signed up for, they pretty much told me to suck it up.
I‘m rather exceptional at what I do, yet my neural configuration makes me unable to play social games so I decided to not go on and play them. Currently helping my wife in her small company.
Your “neural configuration” is the reason you weren’t promoted?
I think you fit right in.
I find pulling things out of context rather rude to be honest.
Maybe ask questions if something strikes you as inaccurate or unprobable.
Dude, what you wrote is cockiness^cocky
