What their company does might be glamorous, what they do isn’t

I think the grass is always greener. Semiconductor is not glamorous by any means. Some fancy expensive machine prints some shit on a wafer. If you work for waymo or some other driverless car company chances are you are in a basic finance or supply chain or hr job like any company. My group has clients in both these types of companies.

People lie about their contributions at work and startups are known for puffery. If you like what you do, keep doing it because it’s probably valuable. Don’t change because someone else is trying to convince you they’re solving world hunger because they probably aren’t

So quit consulting and do one of those “ground breaking” jobs or stay in consulting and stop comparing yourself to others.

Hey all, I work for a large National chain brand in organic and paid social. We do a lot with UGC so I’m fairly familiar in the brand side of things. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with UGC in the creator side? Where to get started, is it worth it or waste of time? I feel like it’s getting popular on tiktok so now would be the time to give it a go if I thought it would be a good side hustle? Any info would be appreciated :)
