Both path are equally rewarding and dangerous. Corporate structure, i.e., enterprise vs on-the-fly agile philosophy. It is always good seek out a mentor before deciding.

I prefer the start up route. It is more challenging and rewarding. Allot more risky too

Personally, I think it’s better to do the corporate career before going into a start-up. I think you get more respect, and you learn professionalism well and less stressful. But if your instincts are telling you to go with the start-up, you may not be able to perform as well in the corporate job. You will probably develop skills more quickly in the start-up, if you already know how to get things done.

If you are not the founding member of a Start-up then working there is absolutely useless. You are overworked with no benefits which kills your personal life and health. No job security, the company might close doors the next day. You have to wear multiple hats which eventually makes you an expert in none.
Only the founding members of the start-up reap any benefit even if the company fails. They have something to show on their resume and you dont.

Here’s a radical idea: Start at a large company, learn all you can and then start your own business. Some one called it “spinning off”.
As a couple of bright young engineers found out, you can achieve a great deal of success doing that.
Does the company name of General Electric ring a bell?
How about those two bright young engineers, William Hewlett and David Packard?
If it worked for them, I don’t see why it won’t work for anyone with an entrepreneurial focus.

[...] Kirstin: Interesting article with some good advice. This is a question I get asked a lot by our students, and I always explain that it is down to personal choice, neither is the better employer, it is down to what type of work environment that you want to work in/learn more about, and also how entrepreneurial are you. Personally I get the best of both worlds, I work within Higher Education for a large organisation, but also help my partner run our own business for the past 12+ years, definitely keeps me on my toes, and both experiences have helped me grow and develop my skills set http://blog.brazencareerist.com/2013/08/06/startup-vs-big-company-which-is-better-for-your-career/ [...]
