Early tech career advice: 1. Intern or work 6-12 mo at a big name company (can be private) 2. Join a Seed-Series B startup. Email VCs asking for their top portfolio companies - they have insider knowledge. 3. Repeat (2) or start your own company.

Giving out equity in startups benefits ownership way more than employees. It allows the owners to push employees harder and harder because “you’ve got skin in the game now… you’re an owner.” No you aren’t. Owning less than 1% of anything isn’t ownership.

Startups aren't for everyone. If you don't have enough energy and are worried about burnout, don't do it. Some people are born more athletic. Some people are born more artistic. Some people are born with higher amounts of energy. It's literally just not for everyone.
