Jason M. Lemkin says most people who move from corporate jobs to startups end up in the same routine roles: SDRs, AEs, marketing managers. They're unlikely to found breakout companies like Figma and will keep chasing well-paid jobs where they can phone it in.
You had to be one of these people that's like, I just can't fit in at an Adobe or Microsoft or whatever. And then startups suck so many human beings into it, thousands of SDRs, thousands of AES, thousands of, of, of marketing managers and social media strategists, that these became just highly paid, ordinary jobs. Highly paid, ordinary jobs. And I don't think any of those people are going to go off and start the next figma. I think they're going to continue to look for a job, they can kind of phone it in and make a lot of money.
