someone that’s never worked for small companies before… having worked for both startups and enterprise IN MELBOURNE, you can have the enterprise salary or the startup flexibility… you don’t get to have both
and to work for small companies takes a whole skill set of its own in a different kind of risk management that i don’t think anyone i’ve worked with in enterprise possesses to be quite honest
he complains that a small company wants him to do twice the work at the same salary in 1/6th the time? yeah welcome to the job mate… you can do 20x the work at a small company but they don’t have money to burn… you sacrifice salary for job satisfaction - ie getting shit done and being proud of it
don’t like it? follow the money, be stuck in enterprise and build the shit they want you to build at a slow pace because of the red tape… your salary is higher because it has to be to make up for the fact that it’s not fulfilling
