I'm curious about this. I've heard that failure is a badge of honor in Silicon Valley. But I'm not comfortable starting up a company and going bankrupt. So if I was involved in a start up that ended up going bankrupt, how would that affect my career options? Is the employment rate for founders of failed executives high because a lot of jobs are open to them, or because the ones who can't find jobs end up quickly leaving Silicon Valley? I realize that this probably isn't the right attitude to have if I would take a risk like founding a company. I'm just trying to decide how comfortable I am with the worst case scenario.
