Hello reader,
I recently got back to work after a few weeks away on military reservist.
If there’s one thing that being back in green has taught me, it’s that you really can’t judge a book by its cover. That unassuming corporal could be a robotics engineer in his civilian life, while the charismatic lieutenant could be between jobs, delivering food for Grab in the meantime.
I’m not passing any value judgments on what’s a “good” job or not – all this just shows that you can never really tell what’s beneath the surface. As you look at the big numbers in this newsletter, remember that there’s a ton of moving parts and unknown people keeping things going behind the scenes for these firms.
Let’s not forget the efforts of the people on the ground even as we celebrate these milestones.
