I’ve been working at a big tech company (first job out of college) for the past year and so and I’ve been considering changing jobs for several reasons I won’t get into but one of them being that I feel I could be learning so much more in a startup.<p>My concern with this is I don’t want to become the person that jumps from company to company that never really properly learns what they’re doing.<p>I’m trying to maximize for learnings, not money since I’m privileged enough to not have to worry about it.
You want to leave so you can maximize for learnings, but you’re worried you will leave before properly learning what you are doing? Those are conflicting ideas.<p>Sounds like you’re chasing something, but you don’t really know how to recognize you’ve gotten it. Figure that out. The rest will follow.
If you're asking this question, you may already have an answer.<p>I do think people tend to slightly overstate the learnings that you can get in a startup, and vice versa.<p>After 1 year, you're ok to leave at this point though a little longer is probably more ideal.
