Don't Accept Crap Rules

Don't believe all the crap rules they tell you. Most of it is made up. Ask for whatever you want.

My job title is "Head of Equitable Design" which was NOT the job that they were hiring for. I have a history of literally making up my own job. That's the thing about tech. It calls itself very innovative, but it's actually a very risk-averse industry.

And so one of the lessons that I've learned is that there is a lot of facades about what is possible, and what you are told is possible. But if you can punch through that, hopefully non-violently, and just say, "Here's what I want!" I have found more often than not that you'll bring folks to you that want to give you that thing & share that vision.
