I don't know how else to get the kind of experience you get at a startup. A big company will give you depth, but a startup will give you breadth.
Also, if you ever plan to be a founder yourself, working at a big company might not give you any useful experience at all.

Alternatively, from experience, while big company might not give you valuable experience it can give you some good people to have in your network. Even if its to ask your former company accountant for advice choosing a billing partner.
