You get paid to make the best technical decision for the company/project/who ever it is that's paying you. You get paid to communicate and understand when test are needed and when they are not. Startups will probably have a lot less test than bigger companies ; unless your a security startup or something that needs a solid foundation that you can trust. Its all a trade off that needs to be communicated to whoever is paying you.
