In response, Mittal posted his own job listing on LinkedIn, saying he was also looking for a “Chief of Staff” but with a big difference: the role would come with pay from day one. Mittal jokingly admitted that he wasn’t exactly sure what a Chief of Staff does, but suggested that the first task for the new hire could be figuring that out.
