It's quite common to leave school/university and enter a big corporation that provides more than financial benefits. As someone without any experience, surrounding yourself with brilliant people is humbling for one.
Also I found myself learning far more than school ever taught me.
After a tour of duty at a big company then startups make the most sense, bringing your experience and connections into a world where you can learn to think outside your specialities and have a far larger direct impact on a company.
- bicx 14y agoThis is exactly what I did. I think to be really beneficial to a startup, you need to have at least a little experience in the industry. Big corporations are a good place to learn the ropes, since they usually have lots people to cover for you while you learn. Once you've become a productive part of a team, it's also a great place to discover that the corporate model can kill your spirit. :)
