I once spoke to an industry veteran when I was still in college and his advice rings to me real well. He said that it's very easy to just work for the man coming out of college. In our particular market, it's easy to follow recruiting strategies and land a job working for the man and getting comfortable. While you're young, you can afford to take the risk of joining a startup or one on your own. Furthermore, by joining a startup, in a way, your presence at the startup reduces their risk of failure. That was just advice and I currently work for the man. Fortunately I'm really happy where I am and I do work on things on the side.
