Saw this (http://cdixon.org/2009/10/22/the-ideal-startup-career-path/)
from this post and comment thread
(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1860795). <p /> I didn’t realize “one and done” was an option. What does that entail?
Try founding a company, and if it fails go running back to the skirts
of a multi-billion dollar corporation? If that’s the case, I’m
decidedly on the start-up career path. <p /> The things I like about startups are not replicable at large
companies. The lack of bureaucracy, the ability to talk to anyone
without introduction, the flexibility to experiment, the fast pace and
the ability to use beta and cutting-edge technology are very difficult
to implement at large companies. Because of these things, I’ve found I
really enjoy working at small companies, and how many people can
honestly say they enjoy what they do? It’s something I wouldn’t give
up for all the money in the world. No amount of money can buy enough
happiness to make up for eight hours a day of misery.
