If you want to start companies yourself, then start/co-found a company is the way to learn it. If you want to start companies in future but you want to see at first hand how to run a startup, join any startup that you are interested in.

Otherwise, I recommend you to try companies in Seattle and SF and Silicon Valley. The most important thing in any first job is to learn your stuff quick.
