F*** MBA, Get a Computer Science Degree Instead
Dear Hackernews Community, I'm a guy from Europe and I've finished recently my computer science degree. I'm very interested in startups and building products and companies. I love to write software, I love technology and my biggest goal is to work for my own startup and to develop a product which is useful for the world. What I dont understand is the business side of things. Its like black box for me. I dont know accounting, i don't know anything about finance, controlling and all this stuff. I can't understand how some computer science graduates mostly from USA can build companies with hundreds and thousands of employees. Getting funded with incredible amounts. Where do they learn the business side of things? Where do they learn how to scale the companies from 10 to 10'000 employees? What is the secret of silicon valley? Are there any books for the most important business fundamentals? Which topics do i have to know just to run a company? I could attend a second undergraduate degree on one of the top business schools in europe but in the valley it would be a negative sign. So what should i do instead? Every answer, opinion and recommendation is welcome. Thanks for your help! Best Regards 3 comments on Hacker News.
