| Remember that 9 out of 10 startups fold in a year or two. they have longer working hours, less benefit, lower salary. How many startups actually made it? It's literally one in a million. So going to Stanford doesn't mean that you'll end up in a successful startup.
My uncle's been in the valley way too long and he's addicted to startup. Only one company he worked for actually had moderate success, and that was due to the bubble in the 90s. The rest folded so quickly, he literally had a company dinner on Saturday and then to find out on Monday everyone was laid off. Going to either school will be great for OP. Going to Berkeley means OP will have to work extra hard for a decent GPA.
Personally, as long as Berkeley is cheaper, I'd go to Berkeley. |
