Should You Kickstart Your Career in FAANG or a Startup? My Two Cents as a Data Scientist at Spotify
<p>Not sure whether to join a startup or a large tech as you start your career? If you’re at this crossroads, this article is for you!</p>
<p>I’m currently a Data Scientist at Spotify but 3 years ago, I was only a student and I struggled so much with this question.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Would I be better off at a startup or a mature company?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It was a big decision after all!</p>
<p>But unlike picking between a box of McNuggets or the latest Big Bacon Cheesy Mac (<em>or whatever they call them these days)</em>, this one was about setting the trajectory for my entire career.</p>
<p>While I was torturing myself with the question, I realized I wasn’t the only one. Many of us in fact face this dilemma.</p>
<p>This article is the <strong>first</strong> of a series where I discuss this topic from different angles, all of which you need to consider.</p>
<p>I’m drawing on my <em>own</em> experience at Spotify as well as that of other folks I’ve met along the way.</p>
<p>So if you’re making your first stop in your professional life, then make sure to stay tuned by following me.</p>
