Has anyone ever left consulting to a strategic role at a startup? What was your experience? Company seems promising, is high-growth and I am passionate about the product, but worried about the lack of structure in the role vs consulting.

Go. Sounds like the thing you need to get out of your comfort zone. Your passion will bring the right structure. But yeah, you’ll need to manage your own onboarding and won’t have a kiosk to go to for any tech problems.

Opens you up to greater upside. Lack of structure = opportunity

I went from ad agency to being one of the first data folks at a startup.i like the product. I grew way more at the startup compared to being at the agency. Can’t say it was great most of my time here, what kept me was the nice people around me and my love for the product.

it will for sure have less structure

i personally preferred it

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
