In 2007, I accepted a position with a start-up company. It was a risky thing to do. I already had a job (that sucked), but at least it was secure. Something told me this was the right thing to do… Possibly, that something was the fact that I would be compensated 50% more, but most [...]

The Power of the Project Triangle
