Find a:

1. Mid-sized company (100-500 people)

2. with a *solid* business model (e.g. people pay for stuff)

3. that doesn't depend 100% on investor money (especially VC money).

That's it. Don't fall for 10x growth startups, AI hype, crypto, whatever. Choose real, solid business where it's easy to understand where the money comes from and that either are profitable or have an *extremely clear path* to profitability that can be explained in one short sentence (e.g. "our customers pay for our services and it's enough fo us to pay our bills and your salary").
