2. Sense of Ownership And Responsibility

Being part of something brilliant that has the potential to impact people around the world is a very rewarding experience. Working hard and being creative are synonymous with startup life and will help you prepare for future ventures like never before. As early stage startup teams are generally small, playing an integral role in the creation of a product and feeling that you yourself have created something palpable, something that will help improve the life of people around the world.

The creation of something that will be used by thousands or millions of people gives you pride in your work and a sense of ownership, something not easy to replicate in other working environments.

3. Opportunities And Recognition

Startups without much funding don’t tend to pay very well so if you’re looking for a nice healthy paycheck, health insurance and a considerable bonus at the end of the year then this is not the right job for you. Although you may not have the same lifestyle as that of your corporate pals, you will most likely be gaining a hell of a lot more experience and will have the opportunity to flower into a beautiful dynamic worker.

You will work harder than you have ever worked in your startup job but it won’t go unnoticed. Your team will recognize the long hours and hard work you have put in and without someone else trying to steal the credit.
