After landing her first job thanks to the Yellow Pages, Kinjil Mathur has climbed the ranks of Conde Nast, Saks Fifth Avenue and Squarespace to the C-suite.
I don’t think myself or the upvoters support or think that working for free is good or the right thing, it just is true in reality. In the US if you want those kind of professional managerial white collar big city jobs, you have to work for free thru college and sometimes beyond because that is how this system works via nepotism. Illegal doesn’t mean anything to wealthy people who can afford lawyers when the people they are abusing can’t. The state prosecutors don’t investigate this stuff because the state is run by people who are dependent on those same wealthy people’s donations. Reality sucks and solidarity needs to be built to make it better.
