And the observations of ~everyone who has done both. I've done both and starting a company is way harder.

- lapcat 3y agoAgain, I've started a company, contrary to your previous assumption, and I know other people who have started companies. You don't speak for everyone or even most people. If climbing the corporate hierarchy is so much easier, then how high up the ladder did you get exactly?
- morgante 3y agoI never said you hadn't started a company. I explicitly asked if you had—the opposite of assuming. Nothing in my comment assumed you hadn't. Since you're unwilling to argue in good faith, we can resolve this.
- lapcat 3y ago> I explicitly asked if you had—the opposite of assuming. It felt like a rhetorical question, because without waiting for my answer, you presumed to explain to me, "Building a company from scratch is way more work than climbing a corporate hierarchy", and then you doubled down, presuming to know "the observations of ~everyone". What exactly was the purpose of your question, and what is your response to the answer "Yes"?
- hitekker 3y agoYou didn't read his top-level comment about where he said he started a company, so it's actually you who aren't arguing in good faith.
- morgante 3y ago"I automatically become CEO, CTO, etc., by starting my own company" is phrased like a hypothetical, not as a past tense action. I'd expect a founder to say they became CEO.
