I do not agree that in corporate you make lesser impact. Big company usually produces things used by real people. Also I find most start-ups to be very conservative in employment arrangement. Option to work remotely or part time is usually deal breaker. In corporation it is norm after you establish yourself. But I think best career is to build lifestyle business. Get a few customers, some products and just keep incrementally extending it for decade+. |

It really depends on what kind of impact one is looking for. The author touched on this point but think he could have made it clearer that working at a startup gives you the possibility of having a significant impact on a product with limited reach while working at a larger company gives the possibility of having a smaller impact on a product with much greater reach.
This is not always the case of course, you could work at a startup that creates an extremely popular product (though it may not be considered a "startup" for very long then) or work for a corporation on a project that will never see the light of day.
