Big Companies or Small

Great things about Start-ups
  • Flexible schedule: You can work all night as well as all day
  • Nobody telling you what to do: unless you get funding, or your collaborators are in today
  • You're responsible for your own success: Yes, it's all your fault
  • Realize your vision: Hope you don't mind re-runs in your dreams every night.

Great things about Big Companies
  • There's always someone there to help: yes, they're right behind you. Is that a knife?
  • Move at lightening speed: That's Stuart Lightening, 350lb, 85yr old racing champion of 1943
  • When you talk, people listen: And you do talk, for hours. Then they talk. Once more around...
  • Deep Pockets: There are big budgets to do stuff, and you use them up to do the littlest things.
