> there is no such startup scene in eastern europe as in the US or the rest of the world I don't know which part of Eastern Europe you live in, but in the part where I live and half way to the south of it there is very active start-up scene. I'm sure there's something to the south of that as well. Yes, it's not Silicon Valley, but there's no place like SV anywhere in the world, like there's no place like any other place. So keep on looking and consider that you might have to broaden your definition of "startup" to more than just another website like HN would like you to believe. > how to start a career in the startup world?

But working at startup is not just a "career", it's a way of life with it's positive and negative sides. Make sure you understand what you're getting into before you do. > I am feeling like loosing the perfect timing opportunity I don't think you're losing anything. Take your time and look around, don't just jump into this world head first. Things might actually be much worse than they look now. But good times are certainly ahead :)
