Depends on the structure or lack of structure you are accustomed to working with. Most startup environments are unstructured and in my experience I have found I had to build my own process and procedures then document then for the next person, I loved but it but some people just like fully defined processes and procedures that they can follow instead of inventing the wheel.

agreed. i would imagine that looks good on a resume.

It really depends. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Without knowing the startup it is really hard to say whether or not it would look good on your resume.

I agree with SC1. Some startups are not yet stable. It would be better if you have some information about the startup first before applying.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
