Because many of us have heard too many stories of sacrificing years of your life for a startup/company only to get screwed over with equity etc.

- cbeach 4y agoStartups are really hard and most fail. Anyone who goes into one without knowing this is naive. The important thing is to go in there and work bloody hard, because in a startup your hard work is uniquely able to contribute to the success of the company. And you’ll be handsomely rewarded if the company succeeds. Many startups are unsuccessful, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless or undesirable to have the option of striving within this environment. All big companies were startups at some point. We must maintain the culture of hard work and high risk/reward, otherwise our economy will consist of uninspiring medium-sized companies (with the only large ones being banks or oil companies), as is the situation in most of the world outside America.

You think that without that culture, there would be no large companies other than banks or oil companies anywhere in the world?
