> ” If one can't get a job at the top corps, one shouldn't enter the field. The risk is just too much” What?? I think I never read anything in HN that I disagree more with. I got fired December 1st last year because the company I worked was heading to an IPO and decided that they didn’t want to work with full time contractors from outside the USA anymore. I got paid the whole December month. I started in a new job in January 18th. Being a good frontend developer is what minimizes the risk of my career, not working on companies that will exist in 20 years. I doubt a lot that I will be working in the same company that I am now in 10 years.
