I’m really curious why people love working at startups when big companies pay 2-5x more and have less stress.
Is it that the uncertainty, stress, and more working hours are exciting? Is it actually just the lottery ticket aspect? I know startups have some advantages in terms of building something new and having more impact on the product, but it seems hard to outweigh the day-to-day unpleasantness.
I’ve worked at both and I’ll never go back to a startup. I’m really unclear as to why they appeal to people. Maybe those factors just don’t bother other people that much?
