ALSO: another thing I’d be curious about, if I was you and wondering why my experience breaking into the tech sector was so different from the Uncredible Hallq’s, is how old the Hallq is?
It seems to me like people 10-15 years older than I am would have been more able to get in on the ground floor of this stuff. (Dunno how old you are … you might be older than me, but if the Hallq is older than you, that, too, could help explain why so many doors that were open to him are shut to you. Though I also suspect his ability to move to SF explains a lot of it, too.)
