Those tips for joining startups seems to be interesting: "For your first startup: You want a place with >10 folks but less than 200. I say this under the theory that you are mostly working there to find challenging work and smart people. A startup with >200 people is too close to becoming a big company (or a failure) soon. Be very strong in your field, if you are not yet that good practice until you are. Try to work on the hardest projects you can find at your current employer. You will probably not get rich at your first startup, but you will learn at least 3x more per week than you would at a big company. Don't obsess too much on how many options etc... - it really doesn't matter - you are mostly going there to do good work, learn and find folks who will make successful startups."
