Life in a Startup
Manage episode 421226801 series 87197
I have worked for a few startup companies, including SQL Server Central. Each has been a different experience, and I learned a lot at each stop. However, I'm not sure I'd want to go through that process again at my age. I was thinking about the challenges and the excitement of being at a startup while reading about the founding of Reddit. The post doesn't go a lot into the technical details or the working life, but it is an interesting read from a VC investor.
I also found this post on Choosing Startup Life, which talks about what the author thinks about before trying to start a company. He compares this with life in a Big Tech company, which relates to lots of companies, in technology or not. The main differences are lower salaries, less infrastructure, lots of work, and upside in a startup. Big companies have higher salaries and more perks, less stress and responsibility, and not a lot of context-switching. In general, that's been true in my experience, though in bigger companies that didn't think they were software companies, I sometimes could end up with a lot of context-switching.
