> Learning - they will not have any formal training nor time to train you, so be prepared to self-learn. Disagree with this one - yes you will need to self-learn, but learning to self-learn is an invaluable tool in itself. You will learn to be extremely non-reliant on other people, and you will probably need to learn about parts of the stack you did not know about before, and fast. You might learn about project management or giving sales pitches. If you are thinking about starting your own company, you will learn a huge amount about how this happens, and what that means (I learned that I didn't want to do it for example!) I have learned a huge deal from my startup experience, probably double the rate I was learning at the bigger company I was working at before.
