Startups sometimes cannot offer you a lot of money when you work for them. However, working for a startup can promise significant earnings if it succeeds; and, at the same time, it can provide you with other important benefits.
Lets look at those benefits.
You can be an influencer while working for a startup
Startups usually employ a small amount of people. You can work your way into becoming one of the people who have a strong influence on decisions. This is something extremely difficult to do in a large company.
Have a greater sense of accomplishment
When you work on something that actually succeeds and you feel that you are one of the major players, the sense of accomplishment is much larger.
Enjoy location flexibility
Startups very often employ people in different parts of the world, offering location flexibility. This is difficult to find when working on a full time basis for a large company.
Avoid “robotic” work schedules
At startups, everyday is different. Working like a robot 9-to-5 is almost impossible for this kind of companies. However, if you are focused enough it is true that a diverse working day will never make you feel bored.
Learn everything the “hard way”
In most startups people share roles, as a common practice for small working teams. Of course you can have your expertise, but you will be very close to other roles as well. This means that you will gain useful experience from business areas unknown to you so far.
Last but not least….
Working for a startup you get a chance to make a real change!
