Today we start with some interesting startup articles. First, on Bothsides of the Table, Mark Suster talks about the VC outlook for 2016. It is interesting to see what a highly respected VC is thinking about his industry for the next year. At VentureBeat, there is an excellent post about whether you should take a job at a “unicorn”. Most of the post is about potential equity and its value, but if you are joining a high flying startup, equity can be a big part of the equation. Lastly, Martin Fowler talks about the pros and cons of remote vs. co-located work.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
