I'm personally interested in hearing any advice you have for graduating students who are deciding between:

-- working at a large corporation (Google, Microsoft, Amazon)

-- working at a (for lack of a better term) "well-established start-up" (Dropbox, Twitter, AirBnB)

-- working at a very young and small start-up

-- pursuing their own start-up

What experience should they expect to get from working at each of these "levels" and what is absolutely necessary to do/have before jumping between these "levels"?

Thanks, and looking forward to hearing your talk!

While I agree that that sounds like an interesting topic, I'd really hope to get as much interesting information as possible that will help get a startup off the ground, rather than the various alternatives to creating one. I'd hope that most of the people attending Startup School lean far enough towards creating a startup that they don't necessarily want to hear about going to work for one instead. (And with all of the Startup School presenters likely hiring, that's a serious danger.)

Good point, Josh! Since this is my first start-up school, I guess I'm not sure what to expect yet. I'm sure there will be a lot of impacting founders stories and hopefully my questions will encourages a new set of insights.
