A recruiter posting "Excited to share that I'm hiring!" for the fourteenth time this week. A motivational quote about hustle printed over a sunset. Three humblebrags disguised as life lessons.

We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... They don't exist anymore.

... posting from a specific SF company that offered a salary of 250k 1M (including equity) , but realistically, I don't think they have that money; they're just grinding to satisfy investors and succumb to too much hustle culture.
