A friend speaks highly of big tech companies and the opportunities they offer to employees. His goal is to work there one day. You‘ve never worked there, but grinded your way through startups. He asks you for your opinion, is it worth it? What is your response?

I believe it's good to work there early in your career to learn from folks much senior than yours, then move to startups mid-career to apply some of those lessons. Above usually create a pretty good foundation to build something of your own later because you have learned from both structure and chaos.

I agree with this. Lots of benefit to working there early in your career - develop a good foundation, learn how a successful company operates at scale, network, etc. Then apply this at a smaller company later on
