Honest question: do you believe there any job where you are not being screwed? And do you believe you are an above average employee, or that you could be a founder yourself (as it's just like getting in on Manhattan early)?
If so, why not work in that job (rather than at a startup)? Or why not found a startup (rather than be an employee)?
- confluence 14y agoAny job with monopoly pricing protections - a doctor or engineer at large established firms fit the bill. Once you have monopoly pricing - you are no longer the one being screwed, but rather the one doing the screwing. Do I think I'm above average? Depends on what you mean by average. There are zero barriers to entry in becoming a founder - so yes I'm founder material. As is everyone else. The question that actually needs to be asked is: How lucky can one get?
