Great example of tech needing more people that are not USA-based/upper-middle-class/white/cis-gender/heterosexual/men - that lived experience gives creative solutions to these user pains. Also 1 reason why many emigrants and descendants continue using products from their COO.

That self doubt talk is keeping you broke. Our country is run by mediocre white men who go after whatever they want, but you too scared to claim a high 6 figure salary. Smh

5 years ago the demand for sr design talent surpassed the supply, today we’re hitting another level of challenges in the race to find talent. If you haven’t done a recent market analysis to evaluate comp, do it. It’s time to start paying sr designers like you pay sr engineers.

For more than 10 years, some Basecamp employees maintained an open list of customer names that sounded “funny” to them. Last year, amid a broader reckoning over diversity and inclusion, that list didn’t seem quite so funny any more. And employees wanted to talk about it.

Basecamp employees should unionize, and by unionize I mean every single one of them take the severance package and let the company implode

We are more than what we do or achieve in our jobs. And if it's hard to see that: 1) Remember "The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying" 2) Read "Designing your Life" and do the exercises 3) Spend time with people you really like Fin. (10/10)

As for me, I rode the highs and lows of "My identity = My job" for years. And the lows were painful. But with time, I let more in. I became a wife, a mom, an author, a learner, an appreciator. I came to define myself more by what I love and value. (9/10)

Of course the job matters. But it is not everything. What about... 1) Your relationships with family/friends/community 2) Your integrity, and whether your daily actions match your values 3) Your spirituality and connection to the larger world (8/10)

Actual 5 Regrets of the Dying: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Top_F… I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to me. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard I wish I’d had expressed my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. (7/10)

In the end, "My identity = My job" is unsustainable. The sooner you can see yourself as more than your job, the happier you'll be. On their deathbed, most people don't think: "I wish I'd gotten promoted to VP sooner," or "I really regret us not becoming a unicorn." (6/10)

But. "My identity = My job" has a dark side: 1) You burn out prioritizing it over everything else 2) Your self-esteem is tied to your success, which you can't always control 3) You don't learn your own values 4) Your relationships skew superficial 5) You miss other oppts (5/10)

"My identity = My job" can make you swell w/ pride, knowing you are a part of something bigger. It can spur you to achieve miracles. It can spin an intoxicating camaraderie. Now, thinking of my 20s spent cranking 2am w/ Daft Punk, I am awash with nostalgia. I loved that time.

"My identity = My job" is a common thought pattern for folks (more likely founders or young) who... 1) have invested tons of time/capital/energy into the job 2) are ambitious 3) are recognized for their job 4) have mostly work friends 5) believe deeply in job's mission (3/10)

The hard-to-admit reason was this: my sense of identity was deeply tied to my job. I felt I *belonged* there. I had a great career there. I'd made many wonderful friends there. And so, it was terrifying to imagine: who would I be if I *didn't* work there? (2/10)

"You were at one company for nearly 14 years?!?!" Yes, I'd say. Here's why: 1) I loved the people 2) I was continuously challenged and learning 3) The mission spoke to me 4) I felt deep loyalty But there was another big reason that was hard for me to admit then... (1/10)

Asking for Indigenous insight, wisdom, or contribution in white-constructed or colonialist-inspired spaces (even if led by other POC communities) *still needs* to be properly compensated and given an equitable voice or seat at the table in the project/endeavor.
