As a counter example, I found this is far more true at big companies, where you can switch teams until you find one that fits your interest, then at a startup where you are expected to work on basic infra that the company doesn't handle.
For the data/ML related jobs that I was looking for and the industry is moving towards, big companies have tons of valuable data that startups could only dream of acquiring.
- sayrer 7y agoI like the Elad Gil take on this issue: at big companies, you can have more /impact/, for the reasons you state. At small companies, you have more control. That's in the high-growth handbook. :)
