Fast learning and fast paced growth aside, after 15 years of MNC experience I joined a startup to get some ESOPs.. and hopefully a good buyback ..
I have worked in 2 startups now.Both of these were already Unicorns when I joined .
While I love the culture and dynamic pace of a startup
i feel my chances of getting a payout are slim...
My personal learning is to get a good reward you have to be in top 10 employees for sure ... otherwise it's not worth it ..
There is no point joining a Unicorn in middle management...or second in command in any function...
Happy to hear your thoughts !
