So true. I have been working in a corporate job (finance!!) for 9 years. I often dream of saving my soul and working on/founding a startup. The appeal of building something, working for myself, etc is great. But, so is the regular paycheck and benefits.

On which side is the grass greener?

I cannot be the only person in NY reading HN! NY Mag has it wrong.. maybe it won't be the next Page Six, but there is an audience here in NYC.

Uber is so entrenched, I am not sure Lyft will ever catch on at this point. I, for one, will never get in a car with a pink mustache.

does everything just automatically get a $10mm valuation these days? this sounds like the pet rock of apps.

I recently attended the Startup School in New York (18th of June). It exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I thought the quality and breadth of the NY lineup was excellent. Each speaker gave honest, entertaining, and insightful talks about their experiences working with/founding startups.
