Do not underestimate the hard work and utter pain of a startup.
Do not underestimate the joy of creating something wonderful.
And be wary of recommendations from people living in a completely different culture.
- japan9955 17y agoAs i wrote above, I have 2 years helping start-up in similar field. It's hard and everything, but somehow i enjoyed more than my current job...
- bensummers 17y agoThat wasn't entirely clear: "experience of working in" is a little imprecise. Was it full time work? That's very different from part time with other work supporting your speculative startup work. You sound like you want to escape the corporate world, but have doubts about the startup opportunity you have on offer.
- japan9955 17y agowell, it doesn't mean that i want to escape the corporate world, it is just that by staying here at corp, i feel like i can only make little changes. i am one of those idealists that want to take challenges, even if its simple but it has direct impact to a problem. creating a new solution etc. i happen to have experience in working at start-up, it was just part-time when in university though. but i like that i can try to solve problems that is there, in business or technical stuff. this is way much different when you are in corp, especially for Japanese corp.
