Depends on what you mean by torpedo'ing your career. Yeah, maybe your options are worthless but you will learn a lot about what does and doesn't work in startup

Depends on what you mean by torpedo'ing your career. Yeah, maybe your options are worthless but you will learn a lot about what does and doesn't work in startups. You can use this in any of your future endeavors. Also, the relationships you form and network you create could be invaluable. My dad worked for a startup that failed about 15 years ago and his friends from it still meet every once in awhile to help each other out and network. Edit: FYI- he had mentioned working for an unsuccessful startup would torpedo your career.
