Become a Founding Engineering - you're already ready!
I took the leap of jumping from IC to Founding Engineer over the last year and it's been a huge learning curve. While trying to contribute meaningful code to realise an idea, I have learned a lot in terms of internal politics, culture, and management. You can't just sit back and code behind a screen, you have to become a people person and get your hands dirty in every pie. This is what it takes to build a $100M revenue business in health care over 12 months. This is not a place I thought I'd be but I wanted to share how important it is for people to take the leap to build new and cool things, with cool people - how meaningful and rewarding the work is, and how it's more important than ever in our current era where you can prototype anything with a single prompt.
