Nope. I'd most likely apply for something I believe will be enjoyable 8-10 hours a day, Monday to Friday from January to December. It's called employee retention and you should evaluate that metric yourself. If you let your employer handle that part it'll be about knowing how much will be your next salary increase. Which falls back to your question. Short term versus long term.

Go get a job you're not an entrepreneur. People will constantly tell you - what you do sucks. It's rule number one in the wannabe-entrepreneur world. If you can't handle that part I'd suggest to go get a job. Otherwise, move one to step #2 - focus.

V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N

setup a meeting with them. See what they offer and try to get some info about their vision and strategy. If the deal is to weak then turn it into a "nice to meet you let's chat about our progress in the future". If it's a good deal then you'll be in a better place to answer your own question.

Just an email with "are you for sale" means nothing. You shouldn't even read it unless you're willing to hear about a potential offer.

Why do you ask this question? Just curious...

This is a huge business opportunity for new startups. Of course everyone will share their awesome ideas and creative solutions here :)

Take the manager role. It's the hardest to get between the 2. There are many great companies and a zillion individual contributor positions out there. Stay in that company for 1-2 years and apply at a better company as a manager. Stupid recruiters will look at your current title. So either move horizontally or vertically...

I forgot to mention you'd be able to select colors and themes for the user interface.

I don't want to ruine your dream, but in order to make 200k/year, you have to give away 80k/year.

People only see the bright side...

Taxes. Taxes. Taxes. As a single individual making a little over 200k you endup with 120k net. The gross income means absolutely nothing since you're giving away 80k every year.

middle class, not a place to be

(please delete)

By "we" you mean "I", right?

At this point you'd be looking to take %50 of the company just by having an idea. The rest (%99 of the job at that point) will have to be handled by your tech co-founder. Plus, you'd be in charge of telling him/her when to deliver and how.

My best recommendation is to start your "CEO" job earlier and to land an appointment with an investor willing to invest in your idea and to include your potential co-founder in that meeting. That would make you worth %50 easily.

A college kid with zero savings can become billionaire. An old rich billionaire can spend millions of dollars trying to build 100 products people don't want. There's no right answer to your question. The only advice I heard that made sense to me was:

%99 of the people are looking for: security, then comfort, then becoming rich

%1 of the people are looking to becoming rich, then comfort, then security

"Simply" re-order your priorities.

Yes it will. The question is, when?

You don't unless it's a tiny startup and none of the founders/employees are technical. Which is pretty rare.

Your application goes like this:

You > recruiters > team

Team > HR > You

The only way to get feedback is to skip the middle layers.

It's not about the value the day you file for a divorce. It's about the value he had during the marriage period. Selling shares right now won't change much.

It seems odd that you owe the actual cash money. Are you %100 sure about that? 50/50 is not related to the value of the shares but the shares themselves.

In this case (you don't owe any cash), even splitting your shares in half might end up in a big pile of cash if your company is really successful.

That sucks though...

5 tries max for engineers with at least 12 months in between each try.

You might be able to get a call if you use a different email address and different group inside google.

offer your service for free at first. People will pay you anyway (without asking) if you do a great job. Then you get one client, then another one, then another. Increase your price along the way while building your portfolio.

How do you get your first lead even for free? Craigslist or find ways of going to events where people aren't technical at all. It'll come.

There's no magic trick you can't make big money without a network in life.

If I were you I'd look for the government data rather than the media:

You don't like numbers and facts, then let's take it to the next level.

Majority of the Dev community in the San Francisco Bay Area (for example) is of Asian/Indian descent. We're not even talking about foreigners here. Children of immigrants (immigrants who probably came through H1-B) - the second generation, American citizens.

So, bringing people via H1-B actually helps fulfilling "high-level" jobs with American citizens. Does it make sense?

You're obviously trolling but here is something you could learn:

H1-B = 62'000 Visa allocated per years

Last Oct about 160'000 new jobs where created in the US (270'000 during the month of June for example).

Under Obama (8 years) 9 million jobs were created total, which is above 1 million jobs per year. So, 8 x 62'000 = 496'000 H1-B under Obama. Versus 9 million new jobs in the US...

Oh... and you published your personal address/phone so make sure you hide it on HC news.

I've interviewed a lot of dev folks from any level. Your Resume looks fine. Move your education all the way down.

I personally go first visit your github profile. Also, any link you have about the work you've done will make a difference.

good luck

No book. Build a product from scratch. If you've never built a product from A to Z, including having at least 1-2 users you're communicating with, then you won't land a PM job.

Just search for new startups in your area on google. Send them an email directly saying you want to help them and love what they do. It's that simple...

I would say deep learning will definitely kill our jobs...

This kind of cool features should be integrated into Siri!
