1. WHY YOU SHOULD
WORK IN A STARTUP
14 Great Reasons

2. I don’t know about you, but for me nothing is
more exciting than getting involved in a new
project, working hard on it together with my
teammates and seeing it grow: that’s what
happens when you work at a startup.
If you are still wondering what are the pros
of joining a startup I have come up with 14
reasons to join a startup versus taking on a
corporate job.

3. Working at a startup is a great place to build
upon your existing skill sets, gain experiences
in many functional areas, and take on a tonne
of responsibility. As the company grows
quickly, so will your opportunities for career
advancement.
PERSONAL GROWTH - AKA -
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

4. The entrepreneurial nature of a startup
undoubtedly creates (and requires) a lot of
passion which means you will be working
with colleagues every day that have the
same positive energy and excitement as
you do.
#2
REAL PASSION

5. Get access to industry events, local meetups
and build your professional contacts with like-
minded professionals. This can go a long way
when looking for recommendations or new
career opportunities.
#3
GROW YOUR NETWORK –
EXPAND YOUR HORIZON

6. Strengthen your team-playing abilities as well as
your self-sufficiency. Get the most out of the
experience and develop your social skills by wearing
many ‘hats‘ and making important decisions.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

7. Although working at a startup could mean a
paycut compared to a cushy corporate job,
there are other benefits worth considering
including stock options (equity) which can
have a huge upside for you if the company
does well. If you get in the door early enough
with a great startup, the upside can be life-
changing.

SHARES OR STOCK OPTIONS

REAL TIME – REAL LIFE LESSONS
The innovative nature of a startup usually allows you
to have close contact with the founders who are
usually some of the best people to learn from. Also,
expect to get a lot of exposure to the intricacies of
the entire business operation.

9. Instead of the typical cubical scenario you’ll find in
most large companies, many startups have creative
work environments that are designed to feed your
creativity and tap into the right side of your brain.
Trade in your suit and tie for jeans and sandals.
#7
ALL ROUND CREATIVITY

10. Since most startups are small, you will have a
chance to get to know your coworkers personally
and create a bond with everyone on the team.
Working at a startup is like being part of a close-
knit family, where you can actually be yourself.

CULTURE VS CORPORATE
PROTOCOL

11. The challenges and opportunities at a startup
constantly change which means you are forced to
adopt new skills, take on new projects, and will
likely never be bound to a dull, boring routine.
#9
LOTS OF JOB VARIETY

12. There’s a lot of work to be done but
depending on your work’s perks, you
could negotiate a very flexible schedule.
Alternate working from home or even get
Friday evenings off…

FLEXIBLE & DIVERSE WORK
SCHEDULE

13. Less layers to the CEO means there is more of a
chance for opinions to matter. Moreover, the work
you do at a startup makes a real difference and
can have a significant impact on the success (or
failure) of the business.
#11
YOU CAN BE INFLUENTIAL

14. Startups are ever-changing and if you do your
job well, you could fast track into a
management position a lot quicker than an
established company with a defined hierarchy.

FAST TRACK CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES

15. With team work comes team play! Startups
are keen on building team relationships,
which is great (not only) because free
lunches and barbecues can become a
regular activity.

FUN

16. You should consider joining a startup
because it’s a unique experience to help
build something and be part of its growth
from the very beginning. This means living
the high highs, low lows, and everything in
between.

HAPPEN
