The big opportunities right now are in the Hypergrowing Startups that have raised tons of money, there's a next gen wave a foot and this is the time to get in on the next big company. The FAANG companies are all going the way of IBM this cycle and won't be the hyper innovators of 10 years ago, so find something cool, new, hip, and fresh and go for it

It’s not that hey missed it. It’s more that they’re shedding jobs, freezing hiring so it’s harder to get in and you’ve got more competition

This is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read

You mean the Hypergrowing Startups that now have to deal with constricted capital from skyrocketing interest rate hikes to curb inflation?

Jasper Ai, stability AI, cohere AI, are all raising hundreds of millions in funding and are the future, you’ve got actors like mid journey who’ve got a lot of traction so you gotta look at the new wave

Would you still give this advice to a graduate? I just finished a Masters in Artificial Intelligence, and I worry startups aren't the best place to grow my skills for industry?

The worlds changed over night,the big players are all on the layoff train and gotta cut jobs to jump that stock while a startup is riskier, it’s what’s the future. Sure you could try and go to a bigger company, but how are you planning to get in when they’ve cut like 10 - 15% of the workforce?

Startups aren’t usually the best place to go for the first job unless they have good mentorship infrastructure (some do, most don’t). And I say this as someone who has spent half of their career in startups and loves startupland. Make sure you suss that out while interviewing.
