Re: [newtech-1] What Makes Us Better than Googlers?

Working at a big company could help you in 3 key aspects:
1. learn how decisions get made at big companies (so as an entrepreneur, you can sell to them more effectively),
2. learn about pain points they might experience (so as an entrepreneur you might be able to create a B2B offering),
3. build your network (so as an entrepreneur you can call upon old relationships rather than create them out of the blue).
I worked at several large companies. I worked at multiple startups, one of which was acquired by Google, which is where I work now. Wherever you wind up, know what you are learning from the experience. If you're not learning anything, that's a good sign to move on.

Guys,Just want to ask some advise regarding to how to become a better hacker and entrepreneur- for those of us who do/will not work at Google/Amazon, etc., what do we do to make us better than Googlers?Another question: regarding to the job you do for paycheck, do you find the side project you are doing far more interesting and rewarding? Is there anything you will tell yourself to do or not do, if you can go back in time to the day you head for your first job?I will be graduating next May, so your advise really helps!Thanks,Zhe
