You don't mention where you are located. Are there any startups nearby where you could intern to gain some experience?
I can't comment on the hacking side of things as I am on the business side myself. But I do agree with PG's point that those who work on startups and fail increase their value to other startups... with each new experience you will learn more. The growth rate at most small startups is many times that of large corporations- that is the benefit of wearing many hats.
- principia1 15y agoI am in Austin. I haven't really looked much into the startups here, but based on the few jobs ads I've seen, they are looking for programmers with alot more programming experiences and skills than I have. That's why I was wondering what position they could possibly want me for. Or, I could just work really hard on improving my programming skills. But am I better off doing that while working for a non-startup or in grad school?
- jimbobob 15y agoCan you look into internships? I think if you are interested in working for a startup, you are going to be bored working for a large corporation and just studying on the side.
