Well, it's an edited resume and isn't the whole picture. I have a masters and unrelated quantitative experience.

At the same time, I got incredibly lucky. I feel the same way when FAANG developers talk about their salaries. I put in a ton of effort and my initiative was rewarded, but that wouldn't have happened if the company didn't grow as quickly as it did.

Best of luck.

True. It definitely feels like I need to hit the right keywords to have a chance.

This is great feedback. Thanks!

I built this in response to watching the marches and the conversation around climate change and education. Maybe I'm naive, but I think consumers can have a huge impact based on their purchasing behavior and there isn't enough being done to emphasize that. Personally, if I had a way to easily identify companies that support the same values I do, it would play a major role in the brands and products I buy. Since money == speech, a group effort has the potential to ripple upwards.

I hacked this app together over the last few weekends just to get the conversation started. Let me know what you think!

Full disclosure, this is my project.

We send out a book each month that matches the course you sign up for. The goal is to help people read more, but I also believe reading is one of the best ways to develop the soft skills needed in business. One book a month, every month, is compounding interest for your brain.

Hey HN. I built this to help people read more. Talking with friends and coworkers, I kept hearing about how they use to read all the time, but stopped. I definitely wasn't reading as much as I wanted either. Making time to read is hard after work, other commitments, and trying to have a social life.

To make things easier, I made Monthly Readers Club. You sign up for either a monthly subscription or a "business course" and get delivered a book that fits your genre or topic each month. Spacing a book out over a month is pretty easy and knowing another book is coming next month motivates you to read the current one.

That's the idea anyway. The cool thing about subscription "boxes" is that they have low overhead. If you consider this my MVP, it probably cost me $200-300 and most of that was the LLC registration. My plan is to market to business schools and businesses because books are still one of the best ways to learn soft skills. Any feedback would be appreciated!
