Somewhat Verbatim Conversation with a Startup Recruiter
The founders are taking all the risk, getting slammed by investors, and probably have put in more hours and more capital than you ever will. Zoom out a bit and their chances of failing is 90%.<p>The people that are very successful today all started somewhere. Many of them started at a startup, built something, and made a name for themselves. In their 30s, they are now in demand execs who have proven track records of building out teams and products.<p>At the end of the day no one is going to give you 50% of a company, not test you to see if you can write code and think logically, and not check to see if you are a good cultural fit in an early stage startup. It sounds like this a huge issue for you so you have two choices:<p>1. Go do your own startup.
2. Turn down the job and work somewhere else.
3. Go work for some mega-corp that pays you well.<p>In the end, you are just spamming the board with your pointless posts.
