I can’t imagine any scenario that makes sense for you to go work at an early stage startup. That said, it’s fair to say you’re not at the average level of compensation. Simply put, your opportunity cost is way too high for you to take risks.
- sulam 9y agoYeah, you’re probably right. I stay involved with the startup universe by advising CTOs. It’s fun and helps me appreciate my life. I _am_ considering startups for the future, but the options I’m thinking about will be things I need to see exist in the world. I’m direly concerned about climate change, and I’ve come to the conclusion that carbon capture is the only thing that is going to save us from species suicide. Current carbon capture technology doesn’t scale up very well, and with only one exception that I’ve found, only works when you put it in a power plant. I’m spending a lot of spare time right now investigating alternative approaches and what skills I need to pick up to do something meaningful here.
