What is the alternative

Start your own company. If you’re already doing everything yourself then you don’t need to do it for someone else.

  • Starting a company needs a lot more than those three skills. Plenty of people choose a pay packet with less stress.

    Many founders recycle into tech jobs after they discover exactly why failure rates of startups are so brutal. Apparently 15-25% of employees aged 30–39 at major SV companies have a failed or acquihired startup in their history. Golden handcuffs can appear very pretty after you've missed out on striking gold by yourself.
