So, unfortunately it has come to this... after half a decade of start-ups in SF Bay Area doing growth marketing, CRM, Marketo, email, ads, SEM, SEO, and product management in B2B a…

I guess I missed the 'Fundraising' portion while being Latin American in the 'lessons' - must be because its so easy, right?

I'm not sufficiently white to qualify for a Medium account to tell everyone how I quit my 6-figure paying job at McKinsey, after graduating at Wharton, and my college roommate who …

I'm sure he is not tweeting from a notepad. Don't smartphones count as computers nowadays?

Any ideas how to get a refreshing sabbatical, reboot, invest in myself and seek new friends when the child support and alimony payments are due? anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Only good for specific tech jobs. For sales, marketing, product management, PR, HR, etc... they don't do squat. Prediction: All these 'hiring startups' will pop like a soap bubble …

Let's say it was strong empiric evidence (e.g. on event invites, I always saw this, SV event invitation emails had the lowest open/clicks vs. other parts of the country) Same email…

I'm glad there is real data on this. I kept explaining to people that our email and social habits in SV are a complete outlier vs. the rest of the world.

The data is nationwide. But California proves this NOT to be the case. Sunnyvale/Mountain View have experienced 4 years of building new housing without limits, yet every year is mo…

Depends on what you do...it could take more than 6 months, and try being income-less in SV for a few months

Thank you for the 'mansplaining' and for reinforcing stereotypes that older people 'must not have been good at their jobs' and by showing your ageism proudly. You are doing us all …

This is so true. So so true I am in what I consider the 'top of my game' in user acquisition and digital marketing - My last company was acquired after two years thanks to a very q…

I don't agree. If Investors were dumb enough to add so much money to the seed round of this turd, they should (and will) learn better by losing all their $ than to ask for it back.…

I agree with rmtx - show your Data & sources. The recent Supreme Court case on Affirmative Action (Fisher II) doesn't even present any SAT criteria reference in respect to affirmat…

This note makes no sense. School source would equalize SAT differences. I doubt HBS would allow a 100 pt difference in SAT score for minority students vs. others. Instead, you can …

My last co-founder kinda soured badly on steady corporate world. I plucked him from Yahoo (before Marissa) and did a startup for a couple of years. When we closed shop, he tried to…

I'd rather have the money than be Prez. Thank you very much. I might even do a blog about my feeling of being devoured by the envious poors.

Noted. Yeah, my MBA is over a decade old and not an Ivy one. Guess the Diversity applies as long as you come from a few key schools & employers. It is as it always has been.

so sad that for anyone else wishing for an alternative, has to just 'work harder' somewhere else 'where you will be appreciated' by 'others like you' whether the distinction is rac…

So Culture fit > Skillset and Requirements? That's why we are where we are diversity speaking. 'Culture' means whatever to whoever. Salary req'd were not discussed on interview. Re…

Silicon Valley Hiring Diversity In Action: Me: Latino dude, 35-40, Over 10 years bouncing in SV, last company I was at was acquired Facebook recruiter calls after I apply for PM po…
