Do you ever feel like you’ve been overshadowed for someone who’s louder? I feel like this industry rewards those who are more confident and outgoing even though not everyone is like that.

Sure, loud people can overshadow us, but it's not necessarily loudness. There's just a personality type that tends to project outward. It can work for people, but I often assume that just as often it backfires. I've known people who were good at projecting their personality, but once it became known they were incompetent their antics stopped being effective.

All the time. This is not an industry that rewards introverts. I try to remind myself that if I want to get ahead in my career, I have to play the game and force myself to be that person sometimes. I've never been comfortable with it.

Me neither, I try to push myself out more but it can be really difficult some days.

The problem with that is that the more confident and outgoing people are often way more visible, so they do stand out more. Even though I might be doing a great job, I’m not at the forefront of the boss's mind.

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
