What do ya'll think about this guy's advice here?
I did some fact-checking on his Wikipedia page, and yeah, he was on welfare once. But he graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree and then immediately went to work for a bank as a derivatives trader. which, I did more digging, and not anyone can become a derivatives trader, you have to know all about finance, and have to pass a Series 7 test.
I tried to find some interview where he talks more about how he became a derivatives trader, but alas he barely makes mention of it. He'll say "I was a derivatives trader and I learned this from it" or "I was a derivatives trader but hated it", but there's still this big mystery of how he decided on that job in the first place. I'm sure he didn't just walk down the street and get hit on the head by a falling job application and decide to sign his name to it!
From then on, he was lucky enough to work at rising two major rising stars: WinAmp, and then he went on to be a senior executive VERY early on at Facebook.
Overall, I think his success is mostly right-place/right-time and I think that's reflected in the prosaic nature of his recommendations here.
