Everybody is actually just winging it

friendly reminder to prospects who get nervous about networking calls or feel defeated by a snarky VP in an interview - even the head honchos of finance are just humans living everyday for the first time.

It's easy to be a prospect and think that you're begging for scraps at the table of geniuses, but trust me, basically none of them are geniuses. So keep your chin up and remember you've got every chance anyone else does.
