Get a job that pays well and has high learning prospects. Deal with the start up business after getting money and a fall back. You'll learn more all round stuf

  To expand, it's better to get a well-paying job before going to a startup because it will give you more time to grow your money over the length of your career and the brand-name company will open doors that startup experience will not, in terms of signaling value and the network you can build at larger companies.

    To throw my 2 cents in - big companies suck. Startups are fun and you'll still be paid pretty well.

      Generalizations suck, too. Big companies are made of small teams. Some are nice, some aren’t. A lot comes down to the immediate manager.

        And those small teams merge / move resources 'people' at various times. On a startup you start small and expand under un/under qualified leadership where getting a home run will erase early mistakes. You can get nice for both places but one has a full hr with paperwork for you to fill out while the other will probably screw up your taxes in some way. Startups can be great "the owner pays for lunch" or bad "the owner orders food and constantly skips out when the bill comes". Either way you get a chance to eat with senior management when the company is under 10 and see how the sausage is made

          Nice thing is you’ll get to interview with almost every employee if it’s small enough. Should be easy to sus out whether it’s one of the good or bad places.
