Why do you work at a startup?

by
•
Hey hunters! There are a lot of startupers here. And it is interesting for me why people choose to work for a startup. Personally, I like opportunity to learn something new everyday. My work is quite flexible so my responsibilities could change. And I really like it! What about you? Why have you decided to work at a startup? What is your favorite part of working for a startup?

Hi Daria ! For me it's the challenge of flexibility and customer focus, it's really empowering to beat the odds :)

Hello Daria Working in a startup transforms what you can do from "limited" to "limitless". It pumps a lot of adrenaline keeping you on your toes to be a vital part of a wonderful journey.
Daria
@satish_kumar_veluri Yes, absolutely!

A startup that expresses your unique soul-- your combination of virtues, values, life experience, and ambitions is the most effective and efficient path to wealth and satisfaction in a world of infinite leverage (code, content, crypto). To not build a startup that solves a problem you care about for a community you care about is a huge missed opportunity.

@tim_parsa2 You are right! Thanks for sharing!

There are so many different problems so solve, it's very easy to learn, grow and contribute across a number of different competencies and domains. The early days of products/companies come with huge deltas, and the wins are usually hard-fought but super satisfying. It also affords a unique opportunity to shape the foundation of a team's culture, rituals and practices in a way that is much different in established/older organizations. (You get to bring all your crazy new ideas to the table and try them out - which is a lot easier when the team is small and usually comprised of open-minded and energetic people)
Daria
@dismore Yes, I especially love working in a relatively small team!

We're now 300 people - so in many ways not a startup, but we still have the autonomy, trust, relationships, flexibility, and get-shit-done attitude of a startup - and I love it!
Daria
@nik_hazell Great! It's amazing that you managed to save this culture! Thanks for sharing!

I love the ability to express my thoughts on every aspect of the product we create. Startups are extremely flexible, with zero to no bureaucracy. And I love a good challenge - creating a community for a new product is definitely the one 😁
Daria
@sonya_key_ No bureaucracy is a great benefit! Thanks for sharing!

Most probably because people are filled with enthusiasm and fresh ideas. There is always excitement about the future. Bdw, what do you like more- a startup or an established business?
Daria
@software_guy For sure - a startup. No bureaucracy, small teams, innovative culture are definitely for me! And what do you think?

I like the fact that in startup you should be a multitasker and combine various roles and positions comparing to what you normally do in already grown business. Analysts/researcher, designer, developer, marketer, finance and bunch of other stuff. You kinda grow and learn faster 🤓
Daria
@vitaligisko Yeah, working on multiple roles is great!
