Although I agree that there exist (at least) these two compensation situations, I disagree with the subsequent assertion:
> Moving due to B is only needed in small companies, large ones generally have room for people to grow.
I have personally found, as have, I'm sure, many other people with an affinity for startups, that large companies can be quite limiting to growth, especially for certain careers/specialties.
- dagw 8y agoespecially for certain careers/specialties I've found that while smaller startups are great if you want to learn to do 'everything', larger companies tend to be better if you want to focus on growing within one specific niche.
- mmt 8y agoI'd agree with the first part, that smaller (earlier) startups may be better for learning more breadth, but there's still a pretty substantial range of sizes before reaching "large". Startups, VC-funded in particular, tend to have the characteristic of very rapid growth, which can provide even specific/niche opportunities otherwise unavailable (on anywhere near the same time scale) at a large company.
