A comment on Three Paths in the Tech Industry: Founder, Executive, or Employee. Parent comment
Hmm.
Personally, I have tried to take all three paths. I find it creates the largest amount of potential.
Employee Hat: Develop stuff for the day job.
Founder Hat: Bootstrap by night and learn what it's like to be an owner.
Executive Hat: Work up the ladder by wearing the employee hat and bring what you learn as an owner/bootstrapper back to the day job.
