Start-ups! We hear the name thrown about in the news a lot, but have you ever thought about working for one?
A start-up is classified as a new business that’s in the first stage of operation and has the potential for rapid growth. Usually, such businesses have large financial backing from investors to help get it off the ground.
For this reason, working within a startup offers a unique opportunity to play a key role in the company growth, and having seen it happen from the ground up is something many wouldn’t be able to say they’ve done.
So, here’s 3 reasons why you should consider working for a startup.
The learning curve
Don’t be blind sighted, startups are fast-paced environments. This offers you the chance to level-up and learn new skills and responsibilities quickly compared to larger sized businesses, reason being there’s bound to be fewer layers of hierarchy, so your contributions to the team will be more easily noticed.
Due to the fast-paced environment, you’d be encouraged to share new ideas and usually have some freedom to experiment.
Impactful work
Stereotypically, compared to larger organisations, you’ll be working on impactful work, aka what you put in will shape the company’s success in its first few years of running. How you decide to work and learn can hugely influence the business direction and allow you to be part of the bigger picture.
Compensation
Startups need to attract the right staff to grow, which is why they often have some competitive compensation packages. We regularly see our startup clients offer stock options so you can have a stake in the company’s success. This often co-insides with great salaries and benefits like private medical, company cars, and gym memberships to name a few.
So perhaps now’s your time to give the startup world a chance!
Just remember, whatever role you’re applying to, do your due diligence on researching the opportunity to make sure it’s the right one for you.
