It’s very easy to move up within Twitter nowadays.

funny

Maybe and maybe not. Really will depend on the orgs. I would say that f500 probably has more seats available for higher levels, but also may not have your personal growth as a priority. Startups may have less seats available but may need you to take on the responsibility dinner. Both size companies can be driven by politics - you may have an easier time transferring internally in a big company if that becomes an issue.

This is all why it’s important to ask about progression expectations.

So, in some cases if not most, your ideal job/ career is about who and what you know, besides experience. With that being said, if anyone has any information regarding open positions within the financial field, starting with the base salary being no lower than 50,000, please share!
