Thank you. I completely agree. It’s implicit in your points about your manager and work group, but I’ll add that at bossless startup you can’t walk down the hallway and chat with different subject matter experts in hard science fields. Another point I would like to make is that working for a big company gives me the flexibility and means to continue going to school. I know graduate degrees can be controversial on HN. But getting a graduate degree is a life goal of mine. I wasn’t ready at the end of my undergrad to take on debt.

Sure...but you could still have this option (potentially at a cost) working for yourself

Oh...I've not come across that. If I'm not mistaken I can recall contributions for Masters graduates and PhD holders...
