Comment A jaundiced viewpoint (Score 1) 22
This is probably apropos of nothing, but here goes:
Whenever I'm seeking a new job role, and I get a message from some guy looking for someone like me (a software developer) but is crowing about all the funding his company just raised, I simply say, "Gimme some." No, really. You wanna brag about it, then I want some. To paraphrase (quote?) Gandhi, you don't ask, you don't get. (shrug) But in my experience, the real opportunities, the best jobs, those never brag about that.
Otherwise, why are you telling me? Do you think you're going to lull me into thinking I'm going to get rich or something? Do you think that'll make me feel more safe in my new role? Your bragging in itself is a tell. I'll be among the first out the door when you're in trouble, while you keep all your marketing and sales doinks.
