Besides, investors are also consistently keen on startup innovation and the environment, making this an attractive segment for job seekers.  Working in startups could be a learning experience and one of its kind in a lifetime. There are a host of advantages that one gets while working in a startup set up. Sunil Goel, Managing Director at GlobalHunt highlights five reasons why one should work in a startup atleast once in his career -

Startups allow you to experiment, learn and give dynamic work environment. One is expected to handle diverse responsibilities and acquire transferable skills. These attributes are expected in almost all startups and across all roles.

The compensation and benefits are much better than conventional businesses. This is because startups want to move fast and create difference in the market segment. All the monetary benefits come with work flexibility.

Startups are way too ahead of the autonomous setups. There is no tall hierarchy to restrict your innovation and suppress your ability.

Startups provide ample opportunities to create a difference at a young age, eventually giving way to young CEOs , directors and vice presidents.

Most of the startups touch base on new-age business models. They attempt to resolve real life problems, making the acceptance for their product and services much higher. There are also a lot of opportunities available when it comes to tweaking the product and services.
