You'll realise it's almost always easier to make money from a successful business (no potential constraint on earnings if you solve a large enough problem) than it is working a job (time limited, limited opportunities for promotion based on age or company, etc)
But I agree, not everyone is made to be an entrepreneur.
- pm90 9y agoA lot of startups seem to be started by groups of people tired with the bullshit bureaucracy at large firms who want to make real projects and sell that. I wonder if feeling frustrated like that is an important motivation as well.
- nojvek 9y agoI’ve worked at companies of different sizes. I think the important realization is seeing how much people are paying for something you’ve built, and that you’re getting very little of it. AAMGF tech behemoths make almost a million per employee, yet the median salary is 15% of that. Going it along, you could probably build a better product in another niche market and take a bigger cut. It’s a risk/reward bet.
