Thank you, incredibly grateful for your mentorship! I'll be sure to put out some more free value to show my appreciation. For now, here are my two big guides:

Breaking into FAANG: https://bowtiedfox.substack.com/p/FAANG

Breaking into Software Engineering through Web Development: https://bowtiedfox.substack.com/p/dev

> the first product fox sent us we immediately rejected

For anyone wondering, my first post was just a couple paragraphs, a high-level outline of how to get into FAANG–I assumed that people could just fill-in-the-blanks on their own. I've had to self-teach for a long time, so I just assumed others could do the same–just shoot a message to your nearest FAANG recruiter and figure it out from there.

But, now I realize there's enormous value in my years of learning: reading, watching videos, attending international seminars, networking, consulting, doing research, building teams, interviewing and being interviewed, time spent with older mentors, going down rabbit-holes on forums, interesting conversations on old-school Runescape, and my unique work experiences. Not to mention being a master at "googling it."

I've made a résumé for a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, helped a caretaker/high-school dropout get into college, and currently teaching a VP at a BB (making at least half a million USD) how to lead engineering teams. It's been a wild ride, and none of this would have been possible if BTB hadn't encouraged me.

As for a business, (spoiler alert!) I'm launching a self-paced coding bootcamp soon, an expansion of my (now discontinued) founder's plan on Substack! You can get early access here: https://faukes.com

I've also got paid posts in the works for the following:

- working inefficiently at your job

- working multiple jobs

- my personal productivity maximization framework

- guide for experienced hires

Once I get people up-to-speed with coding, I'll tackle how to start scaling your income, such as multiple income streams via SaaS or joining a bloated web3 company with rich crypto founders who throw half a million at devs because they invested in BTC in 2012.

A lot in the works! I'll announce all of these on my substack at https://bowtiedfox.substack.com

T'was written!

“ If you’re under 30 you probably want to target Florida and Miami. If you’re over 30 or have a sizable online presence, go to the lowest tax area you can find.”

Are these fundamentally different? Or is it more like if you’re in wealth accumulation > FL, wealth maintain > PR?

I actually helped come up with the idea for the two to fight. Funny to see this in your article.

What’s the appropriate medium to pitch you an idea?

I buy the narrative that the top individuals will end up needing companies less but there is something to economies of scale & having some kinds of institutions. You won't find many that are more individualist than me but what happens when the collectivists all freak out and gang up on us? Could get ugly. Just my 2 cents.

founding

Hey BTB, I agree with everything you're saying. However, I'm slightly concerned as for the past 2 years I have been trying to set up an e-com brand. Are you effectively saying that building an e-com brand with the hope of an exit one day is not going to work soon?

Great Post, Good To Know There's Still Wealth Share From The Free Sub Stack.

But If Your Not Paying For The Next Level Then Your Just Not Gonna Make It

this does not pertain to crypto but wondering your thoughts on a investment into some Lithium miners (smaller cap penny stocks as a degen type play) and maybe some Lithium/battery metal ETFs for the traditional portfolio. There will be a deficit in Lithium available for the coming demand I believe (going "green")

(Asking again as I didn’t make cutoff for last post)
