Go Join the Startup
Julia Wu is a software engineer who left the comfort of big tech companies to join a startup. Here are notable excerpts from a blog post sharing her experience:
“Betting on a startup as an employee is, in many ways, similar to thinking like a venture capitalist.”
“When an insanely talented group of people come together to make something happen, you just can’t ignore it.”
“Go after people who blow your mind in terms of intellect and integrity, who happen to be building something very big.”
“Even if the startup doesn’t work out, you will still have learned and grown substantially if you got the people/team right.”
“If you’re a female engineer debating whether to join a startup, do it. We need more representation at early-stage tech startups.”
