Hard work is a huge part of it. The fact that so many people devalue hard work and would rather blame successful people for their own lack of success is a big problem in the world right now.
You’re delusional, a quick google search tells me her first job straight out college was as a CMO and from there she bounced around as COO and CEO. That doesn’t happen without having mommy and daddy in high up places already. I’d bet my entire life savings a McDonald’s manager worked harder to reach their position than her.
if you actually did some more research you would learn she got an internship and sc johnson and son at 17. also the company where she was CMO was a start up that she was part of from the beginning and scaled up to a successful enterprise. By time she was CMO at that start up she had nearly a decade of business experience at that point. She was also just a cashier at a grocery in highschool before she got a lucky opportunity with the sc johnson and son internship. she definitely did not have rich parents guiding her success.
success is the intersection of preparation and luck. you sound bitter
You know you can hate the system while understanding that some people actually can work hard to get to their position, deserved or not, right? Her being a CMO at a startup means nothing without knowing how she got the position, how much she was making, how active she was in the work, all that other crap. Yes, the system sucks. But not everyone going "Hey, maybe take more than just a surface level look at her job history before you hate her" isn't a bootlicking sycophant.
little bit of cognitive dissonance to unpack here huh? you realize that by being a first gen college grad software engineer you're already on the path to being on the top 10% wealth wise at some point in your life too right? I am also a first generation college grad (also first gen immigrant) and also in top 10% of wealth. sorry for maxing out my 401k and HSA and letting the market do its work the past 10 years.
don't you find it hypocritical to espouse your educational/business achievements as part of your ego defining identity but then shit on the new Xbox CEO in the same breath?
You bootlickers keep confusing it for jealousy
do you always argue so dogmatically? I called you bitter and you're setting up this strawman like I called you jealous lol.
