Re: When to leave that first tech job?

I read this on Slashdot this morning and thought the article was pretty lame mostly due to the author's little amount of real work experience and a percieved lack of reality.

First off, I know many people at very successful companies who work in a cube. Offices or "doors" where I work are reserved for people who have been with the company for at least 15 years. Just because you are in a cube doesn't mean that your job is going to tank.

Secondly, if the company is so small that the president is calling local universities looking for new employees that's the first sign of trouble. Any reasonably sized company should have at least one HR person. If the company is not reasonably sized than there is a better than average chance of that company failing and you losing your job. So apparently this kid gambled and lost.
