Career Resources
Wow, congrats on the exit. It's gotta feel great that all of the sacrifices you've made and all the work you've put in has finally paid off.
And also, I have a HUGE amount of respect for your career trajectory. It takes balls to quit and join a startup, especially one that isn't a sure thing. People talk about joining Uber or Airbnb as examples of joining startups, but that's complete horseshit. Real upside comes from startups that haven't already raised a billion dollars.
I honestly am afraid I'll never be able to take that leap of faith. I have a good job right now, and I have a feeling I'll just be another sheep and go the IBD/PE/other route. How did you convince yourself that the startup route was right for you? How did you deal with uncertainty or doubt whenever it came up (if it ever did)? Did you regret your decision at times?
Join a startup that you believe in; both the management team and the business model. I was fortunate to find one that was well capitalized but its founders but belief in the mission is critical.
Hey man. First off, congrats on your journey and buyout. Im wondering if you had that work ethic in college? Did you suddenly leave college and then grind or have you always grinded, just college didnt help?
I worked my balls off in college but not to learn the material. I worked nights as a medic to make sure I graduated with no debt. My grades sucked because I had a job that took precedence over other shit. I thought that getting a C with no debt was better than an A with 10k behind it. Not saying thats right for everyone but here we are.
I respect that. Don't know why someone threw shit at you tho. Thanks for sharing
