Again - easier said than done. It’s easy to say, “just quit and go to the unicorn that will make you mega rich”. It’s much harder to actually do it.
I’ve worked at a variety of places. All the way from research, seed, various rounds of funding, to going public, public companies, and long term enterprise. No one was any good at predicting whether these companies were going to make me rich.
The people I know who got rich were just lucky - that’s about it. They weren’t good at selecting companies or figuring out ideas. They just got lucky.
Spend enough time talking to people in SV and you get one thing above all - survivor bias is real and alive.
