Ask HN: How do I move from a cushy corporate job to a startup?
Hi HN!<p>I&#x27;m a couple years out of college but have only worked for large tech companies. My long term ambition is to build a startup of my own someday (yes, I&#x27;m following along with How to Start a Startup). Leaving my cushy corporate job and joining a startup seems like the next logical step in that journey.<p>My biggest enemy has always been my confidence. I always have that little voice in my head telling me I&#x27;m not smart enough to succeed at it, or that I&#x27;ll burn out quickly, etc. Maybe it&#x27;s all just part of that HN effect where I compare myself to the front page subconsciously. I don&#x27;t know.<p>Any tips or pieces of advice on proceeding? I&#x27;m going to be updating my resume and personal site in the next day or so before I begin applying, but I&#x27;m feeling super nervous about it so I wanted to hear more from the people who have done it and what there experience was like.<p>Thanks for any constructive advice and commentary you may have. It&#x27;s greatly appreciated.
