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?

I loved being part of the founding team because it was my chance to "do it right". Plus, I loved being part of the origin story... :)

Great qestion! I work for a startup because I don't see myself working anywhere else. I work for the idea, not for monetary compensation. - I express ideas freely - I don't deal with corporate culture, gossip, or plotting - I learn quicker than anywhere else - Everyone on a team is working towards a goal, not to just get paid
Daria
@katyaveremeichik Thanks for sharing! It's great to work for the idea!

Because it is in your projects that you give 100% of your strength and strive to be better and more productive, although it may be different for someone, but this is more an exception :)
Daria
@helen_krutina Yes, it motivates a lot!

Startups are the best place for growth and learning. I personally love it because every single thing you do has a direct impact on the business. And that's exciting and scary at the same time. And the learning from building something from ground up is unmatched.
Daria
@bhaswati_b That's true! Thanks for sharing!

A hallmark of startups is their energy and enthusiasm. The novelty and potential for success can create a positive, motivating environment that employees enjoy participating in every day. When everyone has a common goal of growing the business, it increases employee engagement and productivity.
Daria
@shaur_ul_asar Totally true! Thanks for sharing!

Working with many different things. I was a dev, just used to code. After starting my startup, I have been doing marketing, support, finances - little bit of everything.
Daria
@ashrahman Yeah, working on multiple roles is an amazing thing!

It's likely that working with a startup will provide you a broad range of responsibilities. With limited staff and resources, you can take part in projects that you might miss out on in a more traditional job.
Daria
@kathleen_smith2 That's right! Responsibilities could change from day to day!

Before my first day at work I thought it was gonna be a temporary gig. Then on my first day I immediately found my place at work, I was able to take ownership of not only my tasks but the increments of my efforts. So usually it doesn't even feel like work and it feels awesome.
Daria
@geri_mate Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!

The opportunity to join an innovative and fast-growing company. Being part of something new and constantly learning is just a different experience altogether...Your learning curve moves quite differently The sense of excitement and challenge that comes with working on projects that have the potential to change the world.
Daria
@soumya_chaturvedi Yeah, it's so exciting to work on something innovative!

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