Startup ecosystem seems to be going through a tough time recently.
with less money infused in the market, and all the big player laying off employees, companies stooping so low in the name of cutting down the cost and news about some companies treating their employees like shit.

I have been working in the startup space for around 4 years now. The primary reason so far has been the learning and work I do. But lately I have started to question why not go to a good company and chill a bit. What makes more sense spe...
