Pros and Cons of Working for a Technology based Small Business

Michael made a post on his blog recently about pros and cons of working for a small business.

I am not sure about other industries, but for the IT industry, I personally think it boils down to what you intend to achieve with your career and your appetite for risks. A job acts as a spring board and transition phase to your future plans. Its always good to start a little career planning early and adapting as and when the opportunities arises ... especially if you are still below the age of 30.

A mistake many people make when deciding on this question is that they see it as a final choice, instead of a just a transition. A good counter question to ask is 'Do the pros or cons matter as long as it lets you get to your goals faster?'.
