Startup is a company established by one or several entrepreneurs with main goal to solve problem in the market by providing the best product or service. Startup is usually grown by small funding. That is why they try to keep growing and finally get more funds from investor.

Why should work in Startup?

Working in startup means you have to be ready for any possibilities. Since it has different working ambiance compared to government service or private company.

Any plus and minus by working here?

Flexible time is second positive impact to gain here. You don’t have to work from 8–5 or 9–6 as you already set your own working hours. The good point is you can even start at 11 am and finish at 5 pm. Interesting?

In addition to good news, bad news always there. For the worst case, you may start working much longer than people at office and finish at 10 pm. Also you should be ready to keep working in public holiday, where a lot of you friend stay and enjoy time at home. Ready for this?

You are right to get unique experience. For example, you can use t-shirt and jeans at work, where it is impossible to do at government service. Then, probably there are some entertains you get after you reach the target. Even you are possible to work from home, which is much popular on Startup world before Covid pandemic came. Sounds great right?

Besides, there are another minus points. What you learn or be taught could be different to what you should solve. In a simple way, you are given ABC theories and you have to solve DEF problem. Then what to do? Learn as fast as you can since you are forced to finish on time.

You may feel unsure about your job in the future since Startup doesn’t guarantee the job security for you. For example, you work two years at Startup and in the third year you decide to move to another one because of company financial problem.

Working here means also to have more responsibilities. You have to work more than 10 hours a day when your startup wants to launch something. It is something you should take. Feel stress? Most everybody at startup say the same but they should keep finishing before the deadline.

After knowing plus and minus point while working at Startup, are you still interested? Do you wish to learn much more? Or do you enjoy to execute something normally set based on schedule?
