100% agree. I graduated last year and my colleagues who went to BigCo have been tossed into non-essential teams at the bottom the ladder. It'll take them another year or two before they'll have a significant impact on the tiny feature/product they're on.
In contrast, I joined a decacorn as a technical lead and shipped multiple products already. All which get huge press coverage on tech sites and impact company revenue on the order of billions/yr.
The only real difference is in compensation (~20%), but since this is the most fun I've had in ages, I'd much rather pay a "fun tax" here at the startup.

- yowlingcat 8y agoNot sure I'd call a decacorn a startup anymore. Is that 20% difference in total compensation or liquid compensation? Unless the company goes public anytime soon, the difference might be quite a bit more.
