Want a High-Stress Job with a Cocky Bay Area Start-Up?
Some excerpts:
- Let's face it. You probably aren't up to this job. Don't feel bad. Most people aren't.
- This is a critical job function and something that we can't hand over to just anybody who fancies themselves a product manager.
- In order to have any possibility of success here, you'll need to have a strong mix of technology, product management, and marketing.
- You'll need to have those two elusive properties that most people don't: passion for building great products and the taste to know what that means in the first place.
- If you have an MBA from a top-10 business school and think that working at Cisco or Juniper is impressive, you're probably not right for this.
- The average product manager from a multi-billion dollar behemoth would wilt under the pressure of our environment in less than two weeks.
- We're a small company with not a lot of support staff.

I'd tell them to stick their job, but they're probably too uptight to make it fit.

I'm surprised they didn't end the job post with "...and your mother's a whore!"
