Episode 820 | When to Quit Your Day Job, A.I. Feasibility Risk, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

Hiring engineers right now is noisy. You post a role and get flooded with AI polished resumes from people who've never actually shipped anything. G two I cuts through all of that. They've pre vetted over 8,000 engineers, all with over five years of experience, and they do live technical interviews with real humans checking for real skills. There's no time wasters, no guesswork, just candidates who can actually get the job done. Meta trust them, Microsoft trust them, and so do bootstrap founders who need to move fast without making expensive mistakes. Check them out at g2i.co/rob.
