Nowadays working in Startup becomes a trend, even though something like layoff happened, but it still has attraction to make people work for. So many benefits to get such as flexible time, no uniform until no limitation to tell your idea to the company. For the youth, of course it becomes something promising for better future.

But if keep talking about working in Startup, it means everyone should be ready for mutation. Mutation is a displacement on workplace to increase effectiveness and better performance. Besides, it will save the budget up. Hiring external resources will cost a lot, compared to internal hiring. From one division to another.

Ready for mutation when working in Startup is something should be considered beforehand. As the fact says, Startup is a place with totally dynamic situation. Anything can change and everyone should follow.

None can refuse this assignment, otherwise resigned or being fired. Sometimes it becomes an alarm for people who doesn’t want to change their career path.

To be honest, if an employee is moved to another division, perhaps because he or she has some experiences on that. That’s why it is good for people who want to change and able to do more. May called as generalists but it opens chance to get better position in the company, compared to specialists.

Ready for this?

One example is an employee works as digital marketing and he focuses on Facebook and Google ads. Without any prior information, he should move to customer service division. It sounds surprising and strange since the job description totally changed. From handling ads and campaign, to handling customer complaint and making the best way to calm down.

What do you think? If you still want to work in Startup, be ready for mutation. Of course something new will come and it becomes great knowledge to have.

Again, you have chance to say yes or no for this mutation. Even it is better to follow the rule, meaning you are ready for mutation.

Are you agree?
