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.
