However, not all research provides the kind of information that Elon Musk could use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the main web page my potential new employer&#8217;s mission is to simplify investing for businesses. The website consists of slogans and links to market data providers, exchanges, brokers, etc. All I managed to get out of it is that they are software developers. If I want a trial version of their software I need to fill out a form to get it. I tried to gather some information from a YouTube interview with the CEO during Money 20\/20, Amsterdam 2024. Again nothing. Hundreds of videos but only a few with thousands of views, others with 10, 50 or 350. It seems that nobody cares about the brokers official dinner and their expert opinions. Here, I recalled a quote from Elon Musk: \u201cThis is ridiculous, I have more than 100 million followers, and I\u2019m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.\u201d Then he fired a top Twitter engineer, while companies at Money 20\/20 never even hired anyone in the first place. They don&#8217;t even watch their own interviews<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course I checked more information about the company before the meeting and made a decision to decline any offers. But the idea of real work stayed in my mind. One tries to pretend to do a job, another doesn&#8217;t even know how to pretend while the third just does useful work. So my advice is, if you want to be popular try to be useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is common practice to check information about a company before any initial negotiation process.
