- ojbyrne 16y agoStill an opportunity cost. And facebook, google and twitter are among the biggest hirers of the kind of people I'm talking about. 3 or 4 years at facebook or google makes for an even bigger opportunity cost.
- jpeterson 16y ago3 or 4 years at facebook or google makes for an even bigger opportunity cost. Can you elaborate on that?
- deltapoint 16y agoWorking at a company at facebook or google increases your human capital, increasing one's opportunity cost. This can make it harder to leave the stable and growing pay check and try to create your own thing. This is not to even mention the growing amount of responsibilities that come with age (mortgage, family, etc.).
