I did it, took a lot of risk and it has paid off somewhat. I chose to work at an early stage startup, in my home country (which is known to be adverse to entrepreneurship), in a very monopolized market, even though I could’ve easily moved abroad and joined a big company. Despite all the odds it worked out for me financially and I’m proud of what we achieved, but I realize it was basically gambling. My advice is to take a shot at it if you’re young, but try to aim on ambitious startups so you can balance the slim odds with huge potential upside.
