Work at a startup. Personally I learned more, in a shorter period of time, while working at a startup than I did during any comparable stretch of time spent in college. That experience will be indispensable regardless of what path you later follow.
- bkrausz 16y agoI would agree even if it weren't self-serving (coughgazehawk.com/jobs/cough)...I worked in industry for a year before starting my own company, and I'm really grateful for it (my team was awesome!). At the same time, my experiences at larger companies (internships), while useful, didn't give me nearly the experience and exposure to different parts of businesses that smaller companies do. My theory is the smaller the better, but I only have ~3 data points to support that.
