@DanielPriestley Work is life and life is work. Those who embrace that will have an incredibly successful and rewarding life

I spoke with a friend who has a creative agency specialising in corporate events. He was hiring for a creative director role and one of the final candidates was a 27 year old male who seemed perfect. The interview was going great and then he asked "do you have questions for us?" to which the candidate gave a big speech about the importance of his work life balance. He has projects and interests outside of work and doesn't want to be doing overtime. Given the nature of running events - they often run overtime - the candidate was immediately removed from the hiring process. From the leading candidate to not having a chance in a few sentences. It kind of blows me away that a 27yo male with no kids would take this approach. At 27 all I wanted to do was work and get ahead. I had a clear understanding that I had a window before starting a family to work my ass off and establish myself, and if I failed to do that, I'd pay dearly for decades. Is no one explaining the reality of life to these guys? This desire for work/life balance in his 20s is going to be the thing that makes his 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s a lot harder. Am I being too harsh? Is it reasonable for a 27yo to demand work/life balance from a creative agency that runs events? Is this next crop detached from reality?

A corporate job is a smooth road that ends rough. It’s smooth to join a big business, immediately earn money and leverage their brand and systems. Then comes the day when they let you go at age 53 and you’re seen as overqualified for the jobs that are hiring. You’ve still got 12 years til retirement and then another 25years to sustain yourself. You’ve got a mortgage and a family who depend on you. It’s a rough road at that point. By contrast the entrepreneur journey is rough at the start. It’s rough to work hard and get little rewards, to hire people who earn more than you do, when you can’t switch off, when you constantly feel 10 steps behind. Then comes the day when your sales team are making sales without you there, your manager is solving problems and your brand is trusted in the market. The business doubles while you’re less hands on. At 53, you’re offered a deal to sell the company and join the board of the acquirer. You clear the mortgage, you’ve got investments and new opportunities open up. At this point it’s a smooth road ahead. Corporate jobs offer a smooth road the ends rough. Entrepreneurship is the rough road that can end smooth.

James O'Brien: 'How tight does your Tory scarf have to be around your neck to not see the fundamental absurdity and injustice of having a PM in charge of the NHS but spends £250 a pop to avoid the problems of its GP service?!' @mrjamesob

@LBC @mrjamesob Your intelligent enough to be better than this James.

@LemSip27 Why are you using this tragic incident to stoke political division? I was the person who witnessed this event and of all the comments on my Facebook post no one is calling anyone woke.
