TL;DR
Justin Kan gives candid reasons to avoid startups (bad management, unlikely to get rich, no stability) and three reasons to join (access to jobs you’re unqualified for, gateway to starting your own startup, maximizing learning speed).
Key insights
- Startup management is generally terrible; you will likely not get enough mentorship unless you force it.
- It is statistically improbable that joining a startup will make you rich.
- Startups cannot offer the stability of a big company; if you want a five‑year plan, join Facebook.
