The next round of the startup and growth mindset challenge opens up next week, and with it we’ll be sharing the big prize update! If you have a few minutes, want to join me for another tea break?
Today’s discussion: Pros and cons of working at a startup
Same as last tea break, please keep it friendly and protect the innocent. No trade secrets or inside info please!
- Have you ever worked at a startup?
- What did you like about it?
- What didn’t you like?
I’ll start us off….
- Have you worked at a startup? Yes! Only one. It was very small, fewer than 15 people.
- What did you like? Being able to learn about every single aspect of the business. I was hired as a tech writer, but I got involved in so much more: reporting, sales, support, development, QA, press releases, product management, the list goes on.
- What didn’t you like? Honestly, I loved it. It was exactly where I wanted to be. But there were late nights, weekends, and crisis moments with lots of uncertainty. No one tells you what to do - it took me a while to get comfortable with that, and to trust my own spidey senses!
Looking forward to reading what YOU liked or didn’t like about startups. Thanks in advance for sharing 😀
