I understand that this might go against the grain for the site I'm posting this on, but startup culture is all about founders abusing their employees and getting wealthy off their hard work. There are startups that aren't like that, but you have to know the warning signs of what to watch out for to avoid it. Given that understanding, I don't see why you'd want to throw yourself into the blender.
- vonklaus 12y agoi have worked for a start-up and feel like I was taken advantage of. However, if I could extract a reasonable paycheck I would love to work at one for ~6 months (if it was a decent opportunity) because you learn so much that if I could survive on the paycheck, the learning experience would be worth it as a first job. You also work on multiple projects so you have a few deliverables to point to on exit. Instead of saying, me and 5 people made a trivial change to some widget you get to actually contribute a lot more because there is a low power distance between supervisors, and a lot more work to go around with many less people to do it.
