Thus you don't want to work at a startup.
It's not 'attitude', it's just reality: you simply can't have all of these things and a thriving startup. You'll have to give in on some or all of them at some point in time during the next 2-5 years. This is the life of any entrepreneur by the way, any sector.
Organization helps, tremendously — night and day, quite literally (sigh) — but doesn't magically create more time.
- newen 7y ago> entrepreneur You are not an entrepreneur if you work at a startup. You are just a worker, and more often than not, a worker who is not well compensated for the work you do.
- magduf 7y agoExactly. Horror stories abound for workers at startups who were promised high compensation after the company succeeded, but instead were totally shafted when management figured out some way to make the employees' shares worthless.
- K0SM0S 7y agoIt's effectively doing the work like an entrepreneur with anywhere between too little to no upside, indeed. I'd agree you shouldn't work at a startup unless you're personally vested in its success — the core team, with equity.
