If you're young and hungry, here’s the cheat code no one tells you:
Don’t ask for permission to work.
Pick a project you genuinely vibe with. Find the weakness — bad content, broken UX, weak community, poor onboarding… whatever.
Then fix it.
Send it to the founder with one line:
> “I did this for free. Now imagine what happens if you hire me.”
That’s high agency. That’s how you skip waiting rooms and beat the line.
This industry doesn’t need more employees. It needs killers.
So be one. 💥
