Thanks for your insight - it helps knowing there are so many sides to the story.

Would you have liked to reverse that order? Go to the startup first, then go to corporate. Or stay in a startup(s)?

If I was 19 again I would definitely go for startup - I would be more aggressive and less focused on security.
