Gayle Laak... is Open to joining or being joined
I previously worked at Google, Microsoft, and Apple as a software engineer, before joining a start-up and then going to get an MBA at Wharton. I've been working full time on my own business, CareerCup.com, which creates products to help software engineers prepare for interviews at tech companies. It is monetized through the sale of several books and videos. CareerCup is going great -- so great, in fact, that it can be run passively while I start something new.
I'd like to start a new tech start-up, ideally with some other heavily technical people. I have a few ideas that I'm kicking around, but nothing I'm particularly set on.
