Startups are an excellent place for learning by executing/doing, the best kind of learning.
You also learn to:
1. iterate rapidly (in absence of bureaucracy)
2. manage chaos
3. take ownership
4. identify opportunities and grow
5. build things from ground up and scale often

This has been one of the most important learnings of my adult work life. When there are no external motivating factors like deadlines, the only thing that helps to get motivated is getting started and making progress.
Many people procrastinate because they're waiting for their motivation to rise.
They forget that getting started is what leads their motivation to rise.
Passion is not a prerequisite for progress. It's often the result of progress.

Saying no to the folks who have signed offer letters from other companies and are still looking, especially citing the current offer to ask for more comp (even if it's within our range).
Have been on the other side of it and I find it unethical. Hope this helps other startups.

Bangalore is so supportive of startups. It has made it impossible for people to go out on roads so that they are forced to use Dunzo, Swiggy, etc. to get anything done. Bangalore is just cute like that, Silicon Valley has got nothing on it.

Didn't pay for it. Ideally, someone else nominates you. In a sea of unknown, it's a good signal of early success trajectory but it's 30u30 in a continent+category (I'm here), 30u30 worldwide is more impressive. I'd say moderately impressed, it's no Emmys.

Trying to optimize life's happiness with dynamic programming approaches lead to analysis paralysis bc you can't predict future.
The approach that practically works is greedy algo. It doesn't mean making rash decisions, it means making the best decision with current data quickly

Interviewing candidates on their notice periods, with other offers in-hand, feels wrong. But have learned the hard way that candidates would do it anyway with other companies and not join you eventually, so you're the only one losing.

There is no good reason for the distribution of general knowledge of celebrities to be very different from that of the general public, they just get more limelight.
Videos of general public being asked sensible questions prove it (they're also uninformed).

Not experiencing first-hand how your customer feels about your product/company is the most critical thing I've seen missing at companies, especially the big ones.
Everyone in the team needs to do it. Both positive and negative reinforcement coming from the customer helps.

Always looking for credit is bad but not giving attribution for work and ideas to the right person is a pretty bad thing to do too!
Great leaders and peers always give credit for amazing ideas and work, makes the workplace a fair place to work for everyone!
What is a right term for people who take credit for work they have not done? And work they have absolutely not done?

A lot of people miss this in the race of getting there first. It has its advantages if executed perfectly but that's theoretical and a lot of lessons come from failures. It helps to learn from others' failures wherever possible, in addition to learning from your own.
Most people strive to be first to market but another clever approach is being intentionally *delayed* to market. You let a few companies form, validate what the demand is like, discover big gaps unsolved, and you narrowly solve a different big problem vs the most competitive one.

"Relationship is work" and
- swiping = candidate screening
- seeing = intros
- dating = interviewing
- relationship = internship*
- marriage = full-time job (full-time in a true sense
Except in arrange marriages which skip internship and hence need panel interviews to be sure.
