Thanks for the comment. I have a few business ideas that I am going to prototype. Managing my time is one of the biggest challenge I am facing for now.

Hi GFischer,

Thanks for the comment. I work for a ad-tech startup. You won't believe amount of money flowing through the systems. I know a lot of people, including women, who make more than 300k with 12 to 15 yrs of experience. The reason I am skeptical of AmaGooG is career growth prospects.

It's the career growth that I am worried about. 300k with no career growth and 300k with more career growth makes a ton of difference.

FB is good but beside ads they don't have any stream of revenue, for now. Its a risky job in my opinion.
