Can’t decide if you want to be employee #8 at a startup or employee #800 at a larger company?
A 🧵 on how to decide if working at a startup is right for you.
What matters most to you- advancement or stability? Startups give you the ability to grow fast and attain skills that would take 3x as long at a large company. If you want to move into a senior role quickly, startups are the way to go.
Do you want to have a specialized role or have an opportunity to work on a blend of different things? At a large company your position is more defined. While it allows for predictability, it can also become boring over time.
Not seeing the results you want in your job search? It’s probably because you don’t have the right strategy in place when applying.
A quick thread to save yourself time and headache while looking for your next role (pro tips to follow) 💰
Tracking:
Every job application should be tracked in a spreadsheet or tool (@trello is great for this) so you have a clear view of what’s happening. Include contact info of recruiters/hiring managers, dates of interviews, dates of follow ups, and notes on stage + why you applied
Schedule:
Applying for 100 jobs in one stint during nights and weekends? Wrong. Put yourself in the mind of the recruiter and when they’re likely to review applications. Mon-Thursday AM are the best time to apply. Also, 5-10 apps a week are optimal for quality.
