What are the benefits of working at a startup?

Equity ownership, faster career growth, broader scope of work, direct impact on product direction, and learning across functions. Early employees at successful startups can see significant financial upside.

What salary can startup employees expect?

Startup salaries are typically 10–30% lower than big tech base pay, but equity can make total compensation much higher if the company succeeds. Series B+ startups usually pay more competitively.

What should I look for in a startup job?

Funded runway (12+ months), strong founding team, product-market fit signals, equity terms (vesting, cliff, strike price), and culture fit. Ask about burn rate and revenue during interviews.
