I kind of did it in reverse order. Started with a start-up learnt a lot of customer support, full product stack development, web-tier systems, linux/windows, encryption, and POS systems. This went on for two to three years about 50% bellow my peers wages. Moved into web development after a fall-out with the boss about relocation. After the fallout did a couple of interview with my peers and tippled my wages over-night in the new job. Just saying if you're going into the startup field do a lot of hard thinking about it before you go in. Make a battle plan, and dear god have a clear idea what you're aiming for and level of professionalism you want to reach. Would I do it again?! Maybe, just a word of advice don't court the bosses wife.
