It's certainly a different mindset. I don't really do software development any longer. But if I were at Apple, barring a bad situation that I was unable to resolve for some reason--which I've been in before and have been able to switch managers--I'd think very long and hard before switching companies, perhaps especially to Uber.

Maybe if you really want to do a startup? Perhaps one could learn a bit more at Apple first. And to the point later in the post about the loss of net worth. I'm pretty sure sticking around Apple for a bit as a young person is not going to cripple your chances of retirement.
