What is the hardest part of being a tech bro?
For the tech bro I feel it’s kinda overrated so just expectations and you might be struggling but then there’s the whole tech bro hype.

It’s either the entitlement with expectations or the Yahoo stigma Bullshit
Expectatation relating to money and giveaway

Must be hard.
It is annoying actually.
What is the most common thing people say about tech bros that isn’t true.
That working in tech means you’re automatically rich. It’s not true one bit, cause this thing is a journey and it takes time.
