My 1 month experience working at a startup:
I wouldn’t call myself an evangelist, but I’m a firm believer as a personal growth junky that being at a startup is where I need to be.
A month at a startup doesn’t feel like a normal month. It’s weird — but it felt like a week, but also a year. It’s fast-paced, exciting, but also tiring.
Some highlights?
👉 I’ve been able to meet with several people I looked up to as thought leaders (s/o to Andrew’s huge network of people)
👉 I’ve ran projects that I had no idea how to approach (thanks to advisors and Kristina) = growth
👉 My first 401k is a Roth
👉 Having a young and energized team to bond with
👉 Remote work is the best (though I’m somewhat close to the office if I want to see people!)
👉 Flexible timing to work around my classes (and exams)
👉 No hard budgets, but I’m probably a bit too scrappy (I’m so used to spending $0 on everything)
👉 The power of the Brex card
I don’t think startup life is for everyone. But for those looking for personal (and professional) growth, it’s been an awesome experience!
