Yes, the pay is less. Yes, the stability is not guaranteed and it is absolutely true that they run the risk of closing down soon. Nonetheless, the perk of starting your career in a start-up has no comparison. 1. Wealth of experience- There is no fixed work time. In a
2. Freedom- The main problem with 9-to-5 job is its robotic work schedule - come in, complete task, go home, rinse and repeat. But in a start-up, every hour and every minute is about reinventing it. You will come under the roof of those who left their stable high-paid job to give their crazy ideas a concrete shape. You are expected to be innovative, by default. Inhuman working hours would be coupled with the opportunity to invent new ways to do a work. People trust you to give your quirky idea a try. Each day is different.

Under him there is a set of people who is headed by a boss. Under him there are sets of people and each have its own boss. Bored already?

5. Informal work environment- Wearing shorts and t-shirts to work, walls painted with pictures of minions and coloured lights filled beer bottles, start-ups go that extra mile to save one from being bored. Their motto- didn’t corporate jobs bored you enough already. What else, corporate are slowly copying start-up
