Re: “...just say no. there is nothing gained by spending all your income and having nothing. Another offer will come....”
Good point. I'll tell him.

At this stage of his education, Joey's goal is to beef up the resume. This startup, although unknown to you and me, is creating a great deal of excitement in Silicon Valley right now. When I google what it does in vague terms, the first two articles are about it. The next three are about a 6-year-old firm in the same field snapped up this year by Intel for $2 billion.

Being associated with the company so early on that it is still in stealth mode, and hopefully making a difference, is more important to Joey than the salary. He'd rather work for a tiny but exciting company at its inception than go to Google, Apple, AMD or Intel and be one of thousands few of whom will ever make a difference. I support him in this. I've always told him that the time to take a chance is early in his career. It doesn't get much earlier than this.
