There s a common assumption that job applications are mobile-first now. Before moving into building a mobile app, we wanted to test that assumption with data rather than rely on intuition..
First, we looked at real usage. In our GA4 data, mobile accounts for ~22% of active users. But desktop dominates engagement and core actions, longer sessions, more events, and more consistent usage over time.
There are countless products and services out there, and I ll admit I sign up for more than I probably should. But I usually stop using them for a few common reasons:

Solo founder working from home in suburban Philly. Chickens in the yard, cavalier pup on the couch, teens who may or may not be in their rooms.
I've built products and strategy for companies like Comcast, Schwab, and Merck. Took a broadband startup to IPO, co-founded a national nonprofit with $300M+ impact.

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.
You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.
In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.
