It depends on your risk-taking ability. If you dont have any responsibilities and have some money to shell out and try. Its a good bet, given that you know minimum people management skills. Or else it will become a solopreneur.
@SpideyVine Thank you So much.
Believing and leaving out that you have a product idea which you can make and sell.
I consider startups relatively risky in comparison to big tech. But, it does have potential to create impact with code and there's a small chance the ESOPs make real money.
So, 20s imo could be about working for promising startups which tick the following boxes-
Just like you guys, I too got 1 life so I can only share my experience as someone who never joined big companies. From working as an intern to working as an FTE, I always worked at Startups.
Startups mein you get to work on those things on which you're good/expert at. Plus, you got to learn more like in my case I worked on Android and also developed iOS apps which I had no idea about.
In big companies you get to work on those stuff which you might have idea about but less or no hands on. If you get lucky, you get to work on what you already know.
That's my take on this. I'm a newbie in my tech journey :)
I too a first employee in a startup but there is a problem of being the best you can't learn from the people around you since everybody is dumb
Depends on outcome. If the founder becomes rich then good. If not wrong

I either see folks who build startups in college or right after it, or people who build in their early-mid thirties, and regret having done so earlier. Please feel free to share your takes on what is the right time to do it?
I used to tell my friends, "When you work at an early-stage startup, thereās no life outside work."
Two years in, I now realizeāthere's no life inside work either.
For context: Iām part of a 9-person tech team at an early-stage startup...
Constant nitpicking. Well-done š¤£š¤£. Grilled and smoked. All your fat vaporised. All startups are like this
