When I finished high school I interviewed for a couple of programmer jobs and was offered both. One was a spot on a technical team which paid quite little, the other was a role where I would be the sole technical person which paid much more. I took the former job without much deliberation, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made.

When you’re new to the field it’s better to work with others than alone. Even if the others are terrible at their jobs, you can learn a lot about what not to do.
