What Peter Thiel Looks for Before Joining a Startup Peter Thiel says the people you work with are more important than anything else. He asks: “Do you like them? Could you be friends with them?” He shares a story about a law firm where “everyone hated each other but made a lot of money.” Thiel says that’s not enough. In his book Zero to One, he writes: “Why work with people who don’t like each other? Time is your most valuable asset. If your team doesn’t share a vision for the future, you’re wasting it.” Work isn’t just about money—it’s about building real connections. If you leave a job with no good relationships, you’ve wasted your time. Choose to work with people you respect and enjoy. That’s the key to real success.

Well of course, long term alignment is more important because if your team’s not rowing in the same direction, the ship sinks

I’ve worked in both environments—one where everyone was just there for the paycheck, and one where we truly enjoyed working together. The difference is night and day.
