In a conversation with iMedia Connection, Altay Guvench discusses working with top talent and challenging the traditional nine-to-five work structure.
“People are really bad at selling themselves,” Altay said. “It’s way easier to sell someone else than yourself.” 10x Management is “like a talent agency in Hollywood” representing tech talent. 10x helps find their tech talent work and freelance gigs.
“The people that 10x represents are not just good, not just great, but they’re literally the best of the best in terms of technical talent.” – Altay Guvench
Representing the rock stars of tech talent does not mean dealing with big egos, he said. 10x screens individuals for their ability to work as a team player. “These projects are all bigger than one person,” he said. The tech talent that 10x represents are “proven by their track record and the things they’ve built.”
Traditional 40-hour work weeks can be challenging for individuals who enjoy working outside those parameters, and who want a certain work life balance.
