Too often, entrepreneurs don't value the time and energy they invest in their idea. If you spend 5 years building something that doesn't work out, you've lost 5 years of investing in your career, family, etc. If it starts feeling like a bad bet, cut your losses, and get out!

Entrepreneurship is a huge risk (financially). You're giving up some of the best years of your career to focus on a bet that might not work out. The potential financial rewards should account for the risks you're taking. Don't invest 5x for a 1x financial return.

Sofware devs: Apple, Google, Amazon, and other Big Tech Cos™ are now offering Sr. Software Developers salaries of $350k - $550k USD. If you don't 200% love the idea of running your own company, optimizing your resume is probably a way better bet than becoming a founder.

A common self-delusion is: "My lifestyle is way better, so who cares about my bank balance?" Money provides security. Money provides margin. You want both: money + lifestyle. (Don't sacrifice either for the other!)

Often, being an entrepreneur means foregoing consistent promotions and opportunities in your industry. Starting a business means you're no longer climbing the corporate ladder. In many cases, those become lost years. You can't get those lost opportunities back.

Leaving a career path (and starting a business) carries this ironic risk:
If your company succeeds, your value as a potential employee goes way up!
If your company fails, and you spent years not climbing the corporate ladder, your value as an employee goes down.11 odpowiedzi 2 podane dalej 33 polubionePokaż ten wątek -

This applies to employeeship as well though. If you're climbing the corporate ladder at a company that's struggling or outright failing, your years spent there don't necessarily help you secure a better gig later on

I understand the original tweet was aimed at the distinction between starting a business and joining a highly profitable enterprise business, but for most people that's not the choice they're presented with

If you have the chance to join Apple, Microsoft, Facebook etc, it has high value. If you don't have that chance, starting a business might provide much more learnings and value than joining a mediocre mid-size company
