Will working at startups hurt your career growth ?
I wanted to be fully remote and most of remote jobs are startups. This is going to be third startup in my profile. I don't see myself going to companies like tcs.
But is it sustainable in the long run ? Can I continue to work in startups ? Will this be bad for my career, should I try getting into bigger org ?

At least “companies like tcs” have profit to show and cash to save their business and people during difficult times unlike most startups burning investors money and depending on next round of investments to pay their employees.

Sorry, If I offended you. By tcs I meant bigger organizations. Not to look down on tcs.

Going into companies like tcs will be bad for your resume, not the startups
