Fintech, “led” product. And by led, I mean shoot from the hip with no strategy, no experience, and no structure, with a CEO cofounder who from day 1 tried to push me out.

I was sadly incapable of acquiring the mentorship, knowledge, and resources I needed on my own. I was naive and wholly ignorant. I ran around like a headless chicken for 5 years constantly putting out fires and looking over my shoulder.

And now have very little for it.

Lasting for 5 years in any company means you were doing some things right.

Right now you sound very defeatist and negative and it would be tough for somebody to hire you if this is the mindset you convey to the world.

Treat this as a creative writing exercise. Sit down and list the things you did, and spin them as positively as possible. Even if you didn't do something perfect, so what? You think every company out there is doing everything perfect?
