Seems reasonable but not all good advice:

> One reason I like startups is that they represent a middle way: you can get some equity or ownership in a business that might turn out very well, but you also get a salary.

> Can you guess what happened next? The dot com crash happened, and shares of Cisco plummeted to $12/share.

Yes you need a portfolio.
