reeeprgenxon Ask HN: Anyone from Google here? The new Gmail UI is painful

UX Pro here. Google pays senior UX folks an average $160,000 they have "degrees" from third rate Unis like Stanford and Cal Poly tech. How dumb can they be? Do you think they will ever make any money?

reeeprgenxon This New MIT Master's Program Doesn't Require a College or High School Degree

Total BS.

They have a MBA with no uni reqs as well.

I have built two companies from nothing; for a total eval of 3.5 million. I had a financial sponsor and references from well known sand hill road vcs.

I applied and quickly got rejected (on the first day of the applicants are reviewed).

Everyone accepted to the program are f100 employees with existing MIT/Mass ties.

MIT sees the end game, and it is not providing $80,000/year edu to the .1% who can afford it. Its pumping $$$ from enterprises who can afford it while locking HPEs to the enterprise sponsoring them.

TOTAL BS.
