Title: Uncle Cal’s Career Advice for Developers

Excerpt: “I was at a conference with Samantha Quiñones and we were discussing career advice. She said the best career advice she had ever gotten was from a high school teacher who told her, “The job will never love you back.” This is so very, very true.

It’s a cute saying, but the underlying sentiment is important, especially in our industry. Tech is full of charlatans trying to convince you to join their noble cause. Founders who are true believers in their idea and want to convince you to invest the one thing you can never get back into their cause. Many of them believe what they are building will change the world, and they expect you to believe the same.”
