What would you think if an interviewer told you the firm culture is “entrepreneurial, aggressive, and doesn’t do hand holding”?

This is so dumb why is the gif not working.

Anyway- @OP probably means not a lot of training/structure and it’s really up to you to figure out how to add value. So it’s probably hard work and very open ended, and you can thrive if you know how to act in that environment

red flags. i've found a high correlation between use of the phrase "hand-holding" and being poor talent developers.

but hey, some people love that kind of environment so to each their own.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
