Hi,
Most of you probably don't know me, so here is a quick introduction. I'm a 3rd year Computer Engineering Tech (Applied version of CompE) student at RIT with two more years to go. I'm in MS/BS program so I hope to graduate w/ a MS in Computer Science.
One of my classes asked us to do a report on the next acadamic/career step after I graduate. I didn't really know what it would be, but I thought it would be interesting to study the differences between starting my own company or joining the workforce.
I'm sure there are a lot of you who did start your own companies, probably not right after college, but I think it will still apply. If you don't mind answering the following questions, I would appreciate it
1.) What company did you start?
2.) Why did you decide to start your own company vs. joining an already establish company in the field.
3.) Are you happy w/ your decision?
4.) If you had the chance, would you go w/ the same decision again?
5.) Salary range (Can be very general, or be left ommited if you wish).
6.) Any tips for those who want to follow in your footsteps?
For those who are reading that didn't create a start-up, I also would like to hear your responses. Namely,
1.) Did you ever wanted to start your own company?
1a.) To both yes and no, why did you decide to get a job somewhere else?
2.) Salary range (Again, be ommited if you wish).
3.) Are you happy w/ your decision?
Please let me know if you don't want to be quoted or wish to be anonymous. Thanks a lot
