Don’t Get a Job, Don’t Goto GradSchool and Don’t Start a Startup: The 4th Option
- namenotrequired 11y agoThe fourth option is working for a startup. How is that not getting a job? Edit: to be clear: having done both I do agree it's a very different thing from working a boring job for a large company and I'm definitely hoping to keep working for startups for a while myself.
- sherm8n 11y agoIt technically is a job :) But people who usually work at a startup believe in the mission and don't feel like it's a 9-5 job. Otherwise, you wouldn't go work there for peanuts.
- Gepsens 11y agoPlease. The amount of stock you'll need to execute nowadays typically does not match the hours you put in. However, working with the right people at a fast growing startup is certainly one of the top two or three things to grow (save mentoring or doing a research project with actual applications)
- sherm8n 11y agoIt's up to you and the company to work together to create a compensation packages that matches your risk profile, the value you think you can create in the company, and your end goal. Then obviously, you can get re-upped throughout your time at the company.
