Perhaps your hypothetical fellow should focus on building a "lifestyle business" instead of trying to get big and then get acquired...
- dmix 15y agoTechnically he should be a software developer with a $120-200k salary working at Google, saving money with compound interest and getting company stock. Thats the easiest way as a CS grad to become wealthy - if thats your goal.
- alphamale3000 15y agoThat's when you don't factor in 'skills'. If you're 'any' CS grad, you're right. Be if your skills are above average (CS and business sense), this skews the return of investment of the startup.
- dmix 15y agoWell, not any developer can get $200k at Google. So skill is important in both respects.
