Established company. With the looming recession it feels like the better option.

There are only 3 situations worth considering: 1) work for a large company in a position where senior management in enterprise/global accounts MUST meet with you. You help them succeed, you can add them to your Rolodex. 2) work for a compelling start-up that solves a vexing problem that executives are facing right now. This way they'll take your call/meeting because it hurts so much. 3) stay where you are until #1 or #2 show up.

Question is to open…what stage is startup? Have they validated product/market fit? Do they have revenue yet? Do they have positive operating margins? Are they bootstrapped or do they have VC funding? If VC, who are the players? What size “established” company are you looking at? What industry?

Depends if you’re up for a challenge. If you can keep up with the grind, startup is the way to go! Love the grind.

Startup , more opportunity to grow.
Also depends, if you are young or old.
Take the risk if you are young, if you have responsibilities and family that makes it difficult to go for startup

Hi! I'd personally go for an established company. With this economy, I wouldn't risk applying to a startup company.

They have their own pros and cons. If you want a stable job, go for the established ones. If you want to take on challenges that will help you grow, choose a start-up company.

Just got rejected for an opportunity that I spent >4 weeks preparing for, just before reaching the final round. I’ve spoken to so many people about the company and learnt so much about it. I was really looking forward to this role. I was actually very excited. I believed I was good fit too. But I guess it’s only bad luck and 0 skill that backs me.
It’s heartbreaking and demotivating. How do I get through the weekend without breaking down??

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

How do we overcome the inflation objection? I mean obviously the answer is to show how much value we offer, but how do we do that when all of the companies we work with barely have enough funding?

They need our services, which is at least some job security, but their scale back is greatly affecting our projections and quota attainment.
