Don’t Get a Job, Don’t Goto GradSchool and Don’t Start a Startup: The 4th Option

Please. The amount of stock you'll need to execute nowadays typically does not match the hours you put in. However, working with the right people at a fast growing startup is certainly one of the top two or three things to grow (save mentoring or doing a research project with actual applications)

The fourth option is working for a startup. How is that not getting a job?

Edit: to be clear: having done both I do agree it's a very different thing from working a boring job for a large company and I'm definitely hoping to keep working for startups for a while myself.
