. Thought you all would find this interesting.
I got a call from a recruiter last week (I do corporate finance). $100M (revenue) logistics AI start-up out of NYC growing >100% per year & has raised a ton of $.
Reason for call: they decided in order to scale they pretty much have to move to Chicago. Everyone is getting relo packages, headquarters coming here, founders moving here, etc.
Interviews have been a bit weird (not even sure if I want to do this but that's another matter) in that the NYC folks keep saying things like "you're from Chicago you must know all about logistics." This is odd as 1.) I have no logistics experience or knowledge and 2.) I'm not "from" Chicago but, yes, apparently living in Chicago makes you a logistics expert.
. Maybe as part of the LEAN into logistics strategy we just go with it. Living in Chicago = Logistics Expert.
