A lot of startups seem to be started by groups of people tired with the bullshit bureaucracy at large firms who want to make real projects and sell that. I wonder if feeling frustrated like that is an important motivation as well.
I’ve worked at companies of different sizes. I think the important realization is seeing how much people are paying for something you’ve built, and that you’re getting very little of it.
AAMGF tech behemoths make almost a million per employee, yet the median salary is 15% of that.
Going it along, you could probably build a better product in another niche market and take a bigger cut. It’s a risk/reward bet.
