Ask HN: Moving from a startup to a big co, what should I be aware of?

1729 — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 10:45:19 +0000

To add more context to my question, I’m currently in a product leadership position at a ~300 person SaaS company and I found my way here by way of a semi-decent exit as part of a startup’s founding team. However, I have been considering a switch to a much bigger company (Microsoft, Google, AWS) of late. All I’ve ever learnt over the last decade has been by operating in a capital constrained environment. Moreover, I don’t have a lot of reserve energy in the tank to direct it at another startup after 10 years of blood, sweat and toil.

I often find myself thinking of and seeking out experiences from my peers at these behemoths on how decisions are made and products get built there. On one hand, I’m scared of slowly going further away from all my learnings as an entrepreneur (a lot of which haven’t come easy!!!) but on the other I feel like not having had relevant experience in the right BU/product within a big co is limiting my field of vision. What are some things I should consider before switching?

Ask HN: Backing up/syncing files to the cloud?

1729 — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 20:52:50 +0000

I have about 300 gig of files on my hard drive and generate about 100/150 files or ~500MB of data every day. I've been looking, rather fruitlessly for a way to automatically back these up to the cloud (S3/Google Drive/OneDrive/B2 - anything). The caveat though, is that I'd prefer to delete some large files from my local after a while, but wouldn't want to wipe it off my cloud drive. I've been looking for ways to do this but I'm unable to find something that fits my workflow. Client side encryption is a good to have, although isn't a deal breaker.

I remember Bitcasa having something like a 'cloud drive' option where it selectively downloads the files you need when you need it. This is exactly what I need! Unfortunately they're not around anymore. Any ideas on how I can go about this?
