In this conversation with ‪@engineeringlead‬, we discuss opinions on whether it's best to start one's tech career at a well-known company such as Google, Amazon, or Facebook, or at a local startup. We agree that both experiences are valuable but in different ways. At startups, the fast-paced work environment, lack of rigorous processes, and gain of holistic knowledge can lead to a steep learning curve. On the other hand, working at a big tech company offers a more structured approach with defined roles, giving an individual a chance to learn from established procedures and protocols. One points out that an early career spent in startups can provide varied experience and exposure, sometimes handling multiple roles - such as a project manager, scrum master, or hiring manager - boosting one's skill set for future opportunities.
