Why do you work at a startup?

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

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 :)

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.

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.

I work at a startup because I care about our mission. A group of people, who all care about the same thing, who most likely take a pay-cut and risk a lot of their personal lives and time, are more driven than you could ever imagine. My favorite part has to be the people, startups are all about testing YOURSELF and how you learn to adapt. If you asked me 2 years ago what Product Market Fit was, I would have said "idk like does it fit inside of something (laughable but true). You learn so so much! It's a journey for sure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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