Whats so great about start-ups?
Ever heard of Yahoo? It was started five years ago because two grad students liked surfing the net. Now it’s a publicly traded company with 803 employees and a market capitalization of $39.5 billion. Ebay was founded in 1995 by a guy whose wife liked to collect Pez dispensers. Now it’s got more than $922 million in assets. If you’d gotten your first job out of college at companies like these, before they became household names, you’d be retired by now. But it’s not just about the money. Small companies can be dynamic, exciting places to work. Old-fashioned corporate rules don’t apply. Hierarchies aren’t as rigid. Your potential to rise is unlimited.
