If an interviewer asks you what your five year plan is, tell them that you are intent on developing heavy industry by setting ambitious production targets and collectivizing agriculture. Scoff when they raise concerns about consumer goods and badly aligned economic incentives. Assure them that extractivism isn't a failed economic system at all. Your five year plan will win the space race.

Tell them that. Enjoy watching the blood drain from their face. Send them to the gulag if they don't hire you.

You reached the end

"what do you want to be when you grow up" is just the kid version of asking "where do you see yourself in 5/10 years" | Spyke
