I don't get it. Does management want me to find the right candidate or just 'a candidate'? I understand how giving me pressure can press me to make my efforts around finding the right hire more pronounced. But after a point, it just demotivates me. And makes me feel like the task is impossible. I need the time to spot the right fit, and for some reason that's not easy for them to grasp. Are hiring managers supposed to be part-time magicians? I'm so frustrated.

I've been there before. Honestly, you should let them learn it the hard way. Hire just somebody that works well enough and watch them lose their minds. Once you've proven your point, go ahead and make your terms clear. Tell them what the minimum time you need when a new position opens up and make them stick to it.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!
