If you liked this video, or the transcript, please take a moment to share/retweet and also subscribe to my YouTube channel. I've been making the videos all myself (no crew) and it's been fun but an amazing amount work too. Luckily I love filmmaking!https://youtube.com/garrytan
but your rich anyway bro
Yeah being into technology is literally like winning the lottery
I think "zero risk" is wildly misleading. 9/10 startups fail. Meanwhile you earn little, live terribly, and sacrifice your social life. At that time of life many people meet the friends and partners who they'll spend decades with. Giving that up is a risk.
Agree. What if Palantir didn’t work out? What if you joined Uber or Airbnb as an early employee? There r probably more people who lost millions because their startups failed. And their conclusion would be “not working for Microsoft cost me X million” following the same logic.
Oh sure I mean that was my conclusion too. Go work at a tech giant if you can.
“Pick startups over large co” is a misleading generalization. Pick the path that leads to more higher risk-adjusted return. Consider the financials, network, learning outcomes over 2-10 years. Many startups aren’t better on these dimensions.
Oh you're right. I think this is one of the reasons why I said no. Most startups die. But you have to be able to really evaluate if you are sitting in front of one of those, or a true outlier.
Thanks for sharing Garry. Really like the videos! I’m curious, do you think the signal of working for Microsoft attributed to (or even created) Peter’s attempt to recruit you? I’m 23 years old now and am toggling this same decision
Probably less Microsoft and more the coding projects I worked on with the cofounders in school
