The last time I was explaining to a girl friend about the crazy working hours in a startup, occasional adrenalin rushes, beating the competition, irregular sleep and regular food, important life lessons learned and lack of women in the process, she replied simply: “Well, guys used to go to the army, now you go to a startup.”

How very true!

The only difference is that you get paid on the end of the day Oh, and you can’t bitch and moan to the Boss.
