- kelnos 6y agoI think it depends on company stage and size, though. If you're a part of a 5-person shop, then you'd better be able to increase the value of the company by way more than 1%, or the company made a really bad hire. Even through 50 and maybe even 100 employees, I'd think it's possible to have a meaningful impact on the company without having to destroy your work-life balance. But of course as the company grows, your influence gets smaller and smaller unless you become an executive.
- xtracto 6y agoIt also depends on what you do in the company. On my last startup, we were about 100 people, and I lead the Data Science team (doing Machine learning models for risk evaluation of loans). One of my more Jr. data scientists (a guy who had came out of the Uni, constructed a variable for one the models that improved the separation a lot. IIRC He single-handedly decrease our default from 20% to something like 17% (with the same acceptance %). That was huge.
