"Around 3 years back, after spending seven years as an entrepreneur—I found myself at crossroads. Having built startups, one of which was acquired, I decided to step away from the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship to explore what being an employee is like."
That reads like the typical press release after a CEO is fired.
Author of the post here. Yes, AI did help me frame it because I am an average write at best. I have never been a good writer while I have a few experiences to share. I never shared anything earlier exactly because of that reason. AI helps me put my thoughts into a coherent structure.
Even if the post accurately reflects your lived experience, if it's AI generated, ultimately it is just that, generated by an AI, who is not you. People can smell that from a mile away, and they dislike it. (as they should!)
Get over your anxiety over your writing and just share your authentic self. How good or bad a writer you are doesn't really matter. (like OK it has to be legible but beyond that no one is expecting perfection)
It's whether the story you're telling, the experience you're sharing etc is thought provoking that matters.
I had the exact same thought when I was transitioning into an employee and have been wanting to write this post for a long a time. I hope to share more details in a few follow up posts soon.
