Your goal shouldnt be to work at at an early startup. As you mentioned it's not worth it.

Your goal is to be a founder at a startup, and for all of people's claims that startup success is entirely luck that is not true.

Luck certainly plays a role, hell being in the position to choose between being a founder vs employee of someone else startup requires incredible luck, on a global scale.

But, me and you, the privileged 0.1% of the world, are masters of our destiny. To claim otherwise is to accept mediocrity as inevitable and not the consequences of our decisions.

I’m at not so delusional as to believe in this level of exceptionalism. Strive for success, but humility is equally important.

[cthaeh]

As a 0.1%er you are already exceptionally lucky.

What's 1 more roll of the dice?

I would say that depends on the opportunity costs and how many sides those dice have.

Also, I'm curious where you got that .1% number.
