If joining a company was just as risky as giving it a couple million dollars and hoping it doesn't (but it probably will, by the way) run itself into the ground

If joining a company was just as risky as giving it a couple million dollars and hoping it doesn't (but it probably will, by the way) run itself into the ground, I'm sure that's the way things would be. But as an employee in the tech industry with skills, the worst thing that could possibly happen to me is I'm out of work for a couple weeks. There's no risk at all.
- rch 11y agoAre you factoring in opportunity cost? If you're working 3-4 years for 30-50% less than you could earn at an established company, you're effectively risking a dollar value that would qualify as a non-trivial early stage investment.
