What's the un-edited version? I want to see how they try to describe how '"hard they worked"

    It's satire. It's a bunch of typical LinkedIn nonsense (run every morning, read, do yoga, etc) then the bait and switch at the end is that their dad just gave them a multi-six-figure position at an investment firm he runs.

    Not sure why they blacked out so much of the post, the original is funny enough.

    Here's the original

    I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.

    How did I do it?

    It wasn’t hustle culture. No 5:30am wakeups, cold showers, or productivity hacks.

    What got me there was a relentless focus on impact. Every project I touched, every deck I built, every presentation I gave MOVED THE NEEDLE.

    Always, I asked myself: what is the single most valuable contribution I can make to the company right now? And I did that. If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.

    I kept this up for three years before the CEO (my dad) finally recognized my results and promoted me to SVP.

    There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
