Need advice : Working under legendary and influential founders

Context: Folks do you think being a early member (~20 employees only) in a startup with founders who are celebrated entrepreneurs with immense influence and popularity helps you in your career and growth? The founder is a champion investor btw. Now I'm ONLY concerned about my personal growth as a PM. Do you think it'll be useful for my future?

It will be really helpful.... but, for the first few months, work might be hectic.....

Why only first few months?

since it's early stage, company will be trying to get product market fit and work might be heavy then....once it's achieved, it may not be that hectic....

Depends where you are currently

If you find the founder to be inspiring, that's a good thing I'm guessing since you mentioned PM, there will be one layer of management at least between you and the founder, make sure you like that person too

And that the startup makes sense :)
