The Cisco event went just fine. The location was not the best one though. It was too far; right beside the Pearson Airport. Anyways, on the way back, I was reading the iQ magazine, which I got in the event. There is an interview with Eileen Tichane, the CEO of PowerPrint-ColorWays. Quite an interesting interview:
“What was your first job after graduate school? I had my choice of two jobs. Xerox offered me a good position, but so did a small startup. I called my dad and he gave me a good piece of advice. He said, “You have the rest of your life to find the profession and the job of your wishes. If you take the job at the startup, you’ll be involved in everything. You’ll get much more hands-on experience than you’ll ever get an established company.” And, boy, was he right.”
I think he was right too. The startup is a better choice as long as you can live with your postdated or even bounced cheques!
