That was so on the money. This happens to me too. My financial advisor and his friend want me to build them an iphone app. Please save me.



I've got another good anecdote.

I went in for an in-person interview at a company. At the end of the interview process, the interviewer let me know I hadn't gotten the job, but told me I should connect with him on LinkedIn because he and his friend had a great business idea that needed a developer.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, since I've had interviewers reach out to me after I've been rejected to say the same thing. It seemed exceedingly strange that I was solicited to work on another project in person by the interviewer during the interview process.

You can get a new financial advisor. My _wife_ wants me to build her an iPhone app.


If you don't build her iPhone app for too long, that will be done by someone else, you know.


You can get a new wife.

Some people really like their financial advisors!
