Sorry if a bit of a hot take, but I don't think startups or any startup-like activity and raising children go together. Heck, raising children is like a bit of a startup in and of itself. But things like grad school or a small intense startup are things that require dedication and are best done before or after the family stage.
- helen___keller 3y agoNoted, although in my case I don’t have kids but I’m preparing to have them in the next few years. Part of that preparation is being willing to work my ass off to build a strong financial foundation - but I ended up heading to Amazon (reputation for high workloads and high pay) rather than a startup (reputation for high workloads and low pay, especially in my east coast city). In the past I’ve worked for two “growth stage” startups but neither could pay anywhere near what I earn now.
