Ask HN: Startup vs. big corp fresh out of college?
I don't know if it has been asked on HN. I have been asking people around me (developers) whether I should start/join a startup fresh out of college or join a big company. The answers varied. What are your opinions?
To put more context: I have done an internship both at a startup and a big company. The pros and cons of them were in agreement with what people usually say. Startups are tougher and riskier but make you grow quicker, while big companies tend to be less interesting but guarantee a comfortable life. What would you choose if you were a senior in college who's about to begin your career?
