I think I get where you are coming from and am quite tempted to start a discussion.

I'm one of three directors of a small IT company in the UK and I'm feeling more and more compelled to steer it towards more innovative and societally important things. We are very small in the grand scheme of things but you will have heard of some of our customers. I am a pointy headed boss (PHB) who runs Arch Linux on his laptop and has a 3D printer on his desk. I also have a hammer drill and a set of sockets on it at the moment. That's at home.

I could probably find some jobs for you but frankly I suggest you start your own firm/organisation, do your thing and get all the rewards in whatever form that means - may not be financial. You sound very close to having a vision. Focus on what you really want to achieve and do it.

If you still fancy a chat, I'm up for it.



He is 26yo, he clearly states he needs a job, he seems desperate or untenably bored. Not uncommon, to be fair, but this ad is sort of a Hail Mary... so I would NOT suggest him to start his own firm right now... hopefully, next year.
