The enterprise software industry seems quite overcrowded these days. Lots of companies still doing negative OI (Tableau, Salesforce, etc.). Lots of competition.

The enterprise software industry seems quite overcrowded these days. Lots of companies still doing negative OI (Tableau, Salesforce, etc.). Lots of competition. Very little improvement over stuff that was made 30 years ago like Excel. Compare that with the enterprise hardware industry. Plenty of opportunities there. You got 3D printing, insects farming, vertical hydroponics, batteries, solar and wind energy, fusion, cleaner nuclear, more sustainable fashion, more sustainable travelling, scaling remote work for multinationals, etc.. I love my data science work, but I see immense untapped opportunities in more traditional fields.
