Jared Kushner said working in the government is a career accelerator, not a sacrifice.The former White House advisor said on an episode of the “No Priors” podcast published Thursday that a stint in Washington can be more valuable than a job at the hottest AI startup or tech giant. “You’ll definitely make a contribution,” he said. “You’ll learn a ton, meet a lot of interesting people from different backgrounds, and you’ll definitely leave with a different perspective.”The financial upside may not match an OpenAI offer letter, but Kushner — who is Donald Trump’s son-in-law — said the real payoff is…
