Founding a startup with zero revenue is better than working for Goldman Sachs

You don't have to worry about them over-glorifying Google either. The general attitude on this site is that you're either working on your own startup (by far the best option), working for an early-stage startup (ok, but still second best, since its not your own thing), or you're basically wasting your time (working for "the man").

I find it offensive, actually, but so it goes.

Again, everybody likes to justify their own decisions.

And the more they secretly suspect the other possibility might actually be better, the more they feel the need to poop on it. I don't feel the need to loudly proclaim how much it must suck to be a garbageman, but I do feel the need to loudly proclaim that I sure am glad I'm not earning six hundred thousand dollars a year at a big hedge fund.

Fair enough. I wouldn't mind except reading it so often gives me anxiety about my decisions. This site can be like Cosmo for nerds... I can't stop reading it, but its not uncommon that I walk away feeling 10 pounds fatter.
