Home is building a new path for first-time homebuyers. We automate ways for you to save, and combine it with personalized advice to make buying a home painless and approachable. Home helps you understand where you are today, create your optimal plan, and help you become a homeowner faster.
Our team comes from early roles at Uber, Shopify, Opendoor, Betterment, Compass, and more. Our investors have built or backed some of the biggest names in our space including Plaid, Wealthfront, Monzo, Intuit, Tally, Roofstock, and Petal. And many of them are still in the trenches building the next wave, as founders of companies like Wave, Ada, Properly, and Pillar.
You'll be responsible for driving projects from concept to completion in an environment of autonomy and creativity. And since we're early, you'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but our culture: who you work with, and how we all work together.
Rich Hickey's advice is shaped from his experiences and following his advice can lead to his kind of career. Rich Hickey and Peter Norvig, although both successful, have different experiences and hence different careers. If you ask someone like Bill Gates, he'll have another much different twist to his advice. Each successful collection of skills (deep, shallow or mixed) will lead to certain unique career; which one you regard highly is up to you.
Although an important caveat remember is, following some successful person's specific advice may not even work for you if there's a big difference in your basic brain circuitry compared to his/her. Your best bet, IMO, is to commit to the projects you feel 'hell yeah!' for and say no to the rest (more about hell yeah vs. no here: http://sivers.org/hellyeah).
The bottom line is: Never ask advice of someone with whom you wouldn’t want to trade places.
