I don't mean to diminish their work and I don't know much about the matter but the company founder is some billionaire's daughter. I fear ever having a boss like that just because of the fundamental difference in perspective and life experiences. I'm sure I won't be able to communicate with them.


For the curious, the daughter of multibillionaire Larry Ellison, the cofounder of Oracle.


Hmm, I think you have more in common than you differ. It’s hard to escape the human condition using money.


A bit myopic to disqualify someone from the credibility pool because they had a headstart in life imho.


"but the company founder is some billionaire's daughter. I fear ever having a boss like that just because of the fundamental difference in perspective and life experiences. I'm sure I won't be able to communicate with them."

Imagine invalidating a person as a potential colleague and declaring your incompatibility with that person remotely based on a quarter inch deep evaluation of their background. I think this kind of take is in really bad taste.


It's "boss", not "colleague"; and they're your boss based purely on having a lot of money from their parent, hardly a "quarter inch deep" evaluation.
