After landing her first job thanks to the Yellow Pages, Kinjil Mathur has climbed the ranks of Conde Nast, Saks Fifth Avenue and Squarespace to the C-suite.
Sure. If you want to climb the corporate ladder, chasing money and power, that’s the way it works.
If you want to paint houses for a living, or take X-rays, or something simple that just allows you to comfortably pay your bills, this is fucking stupid.
OP’s talking about the necessary grind, not working for free. Though that can be part of success.
20-years ago I was grinding on my computers non-stop. That got me a tech support job. Few jobs later, I’m grinding on my home lab to learn more for what I wanted to do at work. That packed my resume and I doubled my pay and benefits on the next job.
Tbf, I am sick of Gen-X getting a pass or being ignored completely. They had great opportunities just like boomers and they are also pulling up the fucking ladder.
Bruhh… if my internships = career movers, then yes
But there is so much parasitic “business owners” out there… looks like they are activating again. They got lucky in early 2010s when millennials were desperate for jobs because there were not enough boomers retiring. These parasite are looking for a similar set up, demographics are different.

Nobody gets ahead by providing free labour, that shit is a myth so slaves work “hard” and nepo babies get promoted…

way to bring your personal non sequitur anecdote int this tho, you really hit peak boomer here

Fixed that for you. Internships only benefit the wealthy.
