I know this sounds a bit uncouth, but maybe the problem is that you're not good enough to work at many of the startups that are hiring?
The kind of ROI that a startup needs to get out of their first hires is immense. They need people who could have been founders but are willing to work as engineers. Many people may just not have that level of value.
- lsc 15y agoI can understand why a good and experienced Engineer would become a founder of a startup. I do not see why a good and experienced Engineer would become an early employee of a startup, when they can get paid better and treated better for less work at larger corporations. As an employee at a startup, you get most of the downside, and very little of the upside that you would get as a founder. Really? as an Employee, you are far better off with a larger company. Most startups offer some token stock and below-market wages. As such, they are competing, usually, for inexperienced Engineers.
