Ask HN: What was the best decision you made in your career?
A) Migrating UK->USA and ending up learning C/Unix at Bell labs. Still here and still use these tools 38 years later.<p>B) Moving to silicon valley, mostly due to the climate, but also because my house often made more than I did, and there are just so many opportunities.<p>C) Joining a startup - learned to be agile - didn't get rich but at least got to roll the dice.<p>D) Becoming a contractor - can get foot in the door more easily after the dot com bust.<p>E) Becoming full time again at large company. Nominal paycut but with all benefits and bonuses and stock actually earn 30% more plus more job security at the tail end of my career.
