I won't argue too much with this except the last part. I think working for the majority of startups is still head and shoulders above conditions working in finance. Sure you make less money, and if you're naive they'll make you work 80 hours for a pittance of a salary and a bundle of useless options, but if you are reasonably good and stand up for yourself you can still get a pretty good deal.
- michaelochurch 13y agoI think working for the majority of startups is still head and shoulders above conditions working in finance. Working in finance is not as bad as it's made out to be. Analyst programs at investment banks are pretty awful, but developer jobs aren't any worse at banks than at startups. People argue that developers/engineers aren't rock stars at banks (traders and quants get the glory) but that's also true at most VC-funded startups (investors, executives, and product people get the glory).
