Most people think building your career is a linear path. The ideal plan is to go to school and then you find a job. Well that's far from the truth. As a matter of fact that model is more wrong than right. The real world is messy and complex and a lot to do with luck. But what people can do to help maximize their luck is to try their best to figure out how to position themselves. Look at the simplified equation below:
Right field/problem + Hard work + right time + risk + luck = Outsized outcome
The challenge is most people need all five parameters. In some degree, people can control at most 4 out of 5 but more likely 3 of out 5. Working in the right field/problem, hard work and risk are the main factors people can control. Even the right time could be managed. But luck is just something that increases with the function of the increasing the other inputs.
Simply we need something or someone to help go in the right direction. This kind of thing is done through coaches and mentors such as a company called Career Karma. Career Karma helps people change careers by helping them get into tech jobs by joining a boot camp and then help them find a job. Career Karma is the ultimate staffing company for tech. For example Career Karma has a boot camp to teach you how to become an SEO Expert. They are helping people by the millions to change from other fields into and get into tech.

How can someone figure out how to take the best steps? Well, that's the challenge. No one person knows what to do unless they have recognition, meaning they have already went through the experience before. A way to figure this out is to use an AI that uses recognition among many people. Cofounder's goal is to help people step by step so that people are focused on execution.
