Some people is thinking about their career plan, they want to know what's the different between start from big company and start from a small one.
Base on the candidates career development, there are many different choices can do.
Let me write down some advantages in the big company for your reference.
Like company culture, company atmosphere, detail department knowledge and information, company structure, department co-operate,division of labor is very clear, etc,. You will learn a lot of things form the big company. Big company has their reputation in their industry, so, it is more convenient to develop the business for the staff. And also the platform for individual development is bigger then the small company.
Once you want to apply for a new job, the HR will check the detail information from your resume, like your working experience, if you have working experience in the big company, you might have a priority to have a chance to interview.
Big company working experience is one of the stander thing for the HR to screen out some qualified candidates.
Let's talk about the small company's advantages.
More specific work on your shoulder, more responsibility, more detail, sometimes,you might do some work that is not from your department, division is not clear enough, sometimes you might do something you never learn or do it before, etc,. You will learn a lot of things that you never can imagine, and cockamamie. And also you might need a long time to build up your business.
In my point of view, it is easier to change your job, from big company to the small one.
Most of the HR will choose the candidate from the same level as their company. So don't worry, just a little difficult to jump from small to big.
In the other hand, if you have a very special project experience might be help.
So, when you really want to make career development plan for yourself, the first job is really important.
