As a developer my experience has been the direct opposite. Getting my first job at a startup was a the best decision for me. I think I have more width (rather than depth) of knowledge because of it, (since I worked in wider verity of roles).
Maybe for a designer this is different. Probably the title should point this out?
- rizzin 11y agoI'm with you here. After working at a startup for 1.5 years I became a solid full stack developer with the ability to very quickly adapt to the current task. There's a point about going "wide" instead of "deep" in the article, and I can surely say that working at that startup gave more "wide" than anything else. And by the way, at the job where I am at the moment, I had to use a severely limited skillset and had to use a couple of same technologies all over the place.
