No employee churn == horrible code. I'm living it right now. They do not understand best practice... It's like they live in a bubble.

Nothing a little austerity can't fix, right? Time to fire more government workers.

No it isn't. It's a business plan problem. Stop blaming the developers for everything :)

School should teach critical thinking skills and I guess the concept of profit/loss...

Hahaha, go ahead and try it, and then you wonder why you are getting paid less than 100k while a incompetent new hire is making 150k fresh off of school.

That reminds me, a couple of my former co-worker at Microsoft founded their own startup. Was pretty nifty. I really think government should have a program to fund say 1 million startups, I'll do one myself :)

Depends, a lot of places discount startup experience actually. However, a lot of startup is populated by people who change job once a year, they can be your network and it can grow really large.

Probability wise, picking the right startup is a crap shot, even people who are expert at it can't do it. Picking the right big company is VERY EASY..., picking the wrong startup is almost assured, 95%+ chance.

Lots of execs go on and found the next startup when the deal closes.

You actually need above market salary at startup since there is no bonus or anything else. A 15% bonus + 401k match + ESPP + yearly stock grant can easily equal 40k+ for a junior (1-3 year exp) employee.

You'll be getting .1% or less if you are a new grad joining a early stage startup. For new grads, I recommend either doing their own startup, or join a large software corp.

This has been my experience as well. Late stage startup is a lot better, since they can pay well + give you stock options that MIGHT work out if they IPO WITHIN 1.5 years of you joining. Timing is really important here, keep in mind the 4 y
