Appreciate this perspective. Not hard to imagine why working with friends would be fun. I have many friends who still work on Wall Street or in the financial industry. I don't disrespect them for it, although I do wish more young smart people were focused on making things rather than transacting. I tried to write this post specifically about MY experience and stay away from generalizations as much as possible.

You either peddle exotic financial instruments on Wall Street, or peddle advertising in Silicon Valley (or work on something like Glass or self-driving cars that's completely subsidized by advertising profits). I don't think there is anything more noble about finding new ways to convince people to buy cheap Chinese crap they don't need.
