You just have to immerse yourself in it. You should just constantly be building. That's what's going to give you the best chance of having the relevant skill set that is needed to make a difference in technology.
"We're telling young girls, 'Get a job, advance your career, your career is the most important thing that you have in your life.' And I think it's a false promise, man. I think it's a false promise; it doesn't give you happiness."
Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham raised the alarm on an AI bubble, revealed a pandemic bet that didn't pay off, and recommended young people steer clear of Wall Street in a memoir published last month. The GMO cofounder wrote in "The Making of a Permabear: The Perils of Long-term Investing in a Short-term World," which he coauthored, that ChatGPT's release in late 2022 shored up a crumbling stock market and created a "bubble within a bubble."
You may be jumping to conclusions about your former boss. Your interviewers could have been nasty for all kinds of reasons. They might already have known who they wanted to hire (possibly an internal candidate) and were irritated that they had to interview other people. They may intentionally haze candidates to see how they hold up under pressure. They might have been mad at one another. Or they could just have a nasty office culture. You're probably lucky you didn't take a job there!

It's timeeeee... for the Summer 2026 internship application cycle! I was lucky enough to intern for the Golden State Warriors last summer, which was one of the highlights of my college experience thus far. I learned so much and met so many amazing people, and it definitely helped me decide what I want to do post grad.
Imposter syndrome doesn't signal weakness-it signals you're exactly where you should be. That's the counterintuitive message from Scott Galloway, a NYU marketing professor and serial entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple companies for millions of dollars. In a recent episode of his podcast, The Prof G Pod, Galloway reframed one of professional life's most common anxieties as evidence of ambition, not inadequacy.
At some point, nearly every woman has wished they had an older woman in their life whom they could ask their most burning questions. And while many of us have older sisters, mothers, or friends we could ask, it can often be awkward to ask them deeply personal questions... That's why I decided to open up the platform for women who are 25 and younger to ask women over 50 anything they want to know!
