In general, if you prefer structure and stability - you may want to look at a bigger more established company, and if you want more flexibility and learning more , you should look at a startup - but the pay is generally not going to be as high.

Pros
- You will learn a lot - different types of roles and responsibilities
- You will get promoted faster, if you're good and think like a business owner (see video on owner's mindset)
- The environment is usually fun, the hours can be more flexible
- If you care about the mission of the startup it can be a really fulfilling experience
- It's kind of a lottery ticket, if the startup gives you options

Cons:
- The hours are long.
- You will get paid less, or have little benefits - unless the company is well funded
- There's not always structure.
- Sometimes there will be lack of mentorship.

Things you should look for when applying to a startup:
- First, we should know what stage of funding a startup is in. The typical funding process goes like this: Pre-Seed to Seed to Series A to B to C to D. If you join a startup that already has their Series B or C funding or later, they should already be mid-sized. There's still a lot of upside here. The funding round can also tell you what kind of offer you can expect in terms of salary and equity. The earlier it is, don;t expect as much salary, but perhaps higher equity options, and then as the funding moves along, expect higher salaries but less in equity.
- When it comes to equity, you can ask how many shares are outstanding. Talk about 10000 shares and what that means.
- Get an idea of what the culture is like, and see if it fits your style. Some startups are super all or nothing / hardcore / expect you to work all the time, others have more of a balanced work life.
- Get an idea of where your role could lead to, ask questions in your interview about what types of roles can be possible while at that startup.
