Would you guys consider joining a startup with only 3-4 people in the office? I’m a recent graduate and got an opportunity to work with a team of 4
however i’m not sure if i should join because i’ve always wanted to work at bigger organisations and get that corporate feeling and i im also an introvert and hate being “seen/perceived” (iykwim) and that’s the case with smaller teams
but again looking at the job market rn im scared id end up employed
what to do?
Where are you from originally, what's the Startup like, how did you get the opportunity, what is your backup, etc
^All this information would help!
so i’m from mumbai, the startup is a b2b one and i got the opportunity by reaching out to the founder. no backups at all, been trying for 4 months! which is why the dilemma
I see
The move is a risky one and without backup, if you don't like it, relocation could prove costly
Are they offering relocation bonus? Tell them you will need some time to relocate and you'd appreciate if they'd allow you to work from home for 3 months. If you don't like it, you can quit and if you like it, think about relocation then
oh i forgot to mention- they’re all men and i’m a woman 🥲 and it’s in chennai and i literally have no friends there 🥲
Avoid, not because you’re the only woman but because going for an established company is better given your inclination.
i would ideally want to avoid but i’ve got no backups sooo
If this is your only offer, join them and continue applying to bigger orgs
This^ In current market, it's better to have at least a job then having none as a fresher. You can leverage the experience here to get role at a larger firm.
Just be sure that the people running this startup are credible else they'll make your life hell
yepp that’s what i’ve been thinking
Try not to join the startup, look for a established company
been trying to get into one for a long time, looks like it’s about time i gave up

Take these into account and do a SWOT analysis with your answers. Now, onto some tips.
