Corporations And Start-Ups What Will You Choose?

We are sure that you have friends who were able to build a great career in large corporations, or could leave them open a successful business, and in both cases felt (and feel) happy.

Once again, we have tried to understand and identify the main differences between our view and the criteria by which you can determine where you should go.

So, we highlight 4 (a half) of the main differences between the beginning of a career in start-ups and corporations (and stability of the social package, we do not mention, because here everything is clear, and it is unlikely to 20+ is someone vital ).

1. Diversification:

This difference is probably the main thing. Working in corporations, especially in the initial position, you will be responsible for some one direction (and even more so for his part) and only occasionally will have the opportunity to do something else.

Take a simple example: working in the audit you will be limited not only by its specialization, but also likely a certain sector of the economy, whether it's Oil & Gas, TMT or engineering. Of course, you will have the possibility to grasp and work out how to tax and (if you're lucky), corporate finance, but in any case 90% + you will deal only with the audit.

Work as a start-up, especially at the initial stage, it means that you have (or at least are willing to) be (become) a jack of all trades. Something one does not get engaged in at least two reasons: the first is likely a start-up will not be a specialist for each specific direction (and engage in this direction should be), and secondly, as a rule, to create a truly successful product Each team member should be aware of and involved 146% in each direction. So regardless of the role for which you have to work, get ready to explore the basics of code, multiple destinations internet marketing (SMM / e-mail / context, and so forth.), Methods PR-a, based on sales, etc.

What does that mean for the candidate?:

It's simple. If you know exactly what you want to do, in a start-up you do nothing, because 100% focus on your desired specialization you do not get. However, if you are still in search of themselves and want to try yourself in different directions (and not just to try and become a professional), the work in a start-up can be an excellent choice.

2. Responsibility:

It should be understood that the responsibility, even in the most rigorous and demanding the head can not be compared with the direct responsibility of the client (user of your product).

For example, imagine a situation where you are working as an analyst at IB, within 2 weeks of day and night were the presentation of 100 slides, which you must bring a deal to several billion dollars (0.5% commission for the bank). Who do you show it? Immediately customer? Of course not: it first looks and give your Associate your comments (and may parallel good mate because the color of the title does not match the corporate brand book), then it will look VP and will also give their comments (and may scold you for that one line to three millimeters moved out). As a result, in the end, when all the presentation will be shown to the customer, the responsibility for its success will rest not on your shoulders.

Corporations And Start-Ups What Will You Choose?

At start-up, the situation is reversed. Despite the fact that the results of your work will likely pass filter at CEO / CTO / CMO (so if you are not) before the product will take advantage of the client, the responsibility for the result of a 50% + will lay it on you.

What does that mean for the candidate?:

It's simple: it employs the classic ratio of risk-reward (the higher one - the more different). If successful, the start-up you will feel in seventh heaven, but in case of failure - trampled into the ground. In the case of work in corporations amplitude of joy and disappointment will be much less.

3. Education:

One of the biggest advantages and value proposition is the ability of corporations constantly held training courses paid by the employer and to learn from fellow industry professionals. Start-ups often, no one will deal with your form, and you will not learn from someone (meaning it learn your specialization).

It seems that on this point the corporation really beat start-ups. But is it really?

We live in an era when education every day is becoming more affordable: almost everything you can learn / explore online and even consult with professionals via Facebook / LinkedIn. The only obstacle to learn new skills and knowledge is the motivation. Training courses from corporations are essentially "kick" to learn something new. So, if you need a "kick" and a start-up it can not provide (for obvious financial reasons), then the problem is not a start-up, but you.

On the other hand, it motivates the employee start-up, as well as representative of the corporation, will always find an opportunity, a place and time in order to gain knowledge. Free courses, books, movies - all of this is now available to everyone.

What sways Benchmarking colleagues, here, too, it is not so obvious. Every day realities of the market, introduce new products, services and new technologies. Not the fact that your leaders to understand these new trends better than you.

What does that mean for the candidate?:

As it noted in the text, if you have enough motivation to train yourself using all kinds of tools available, the Corporation will not be able to offer you the "added value" in the context of education. However, if you need a "kick" to generate new knowledge / skills, then there is no corporate entity can not do.

4. Stability:

As you know, working for a company with a turnover of you, quite frankly, is very enticing, allows you to feel comfortable, stable. This, of course, wonderful, especially if you want to start a family and to travel wherever you want.

There should be a phrase about champagne and the risk. Start-ups do not sleep at night and never know whether anything like money, what will be the revenue and whether or not at all. And the champagne can not drink very often, but just because there is no time.

The same applies to your personal time. It is stable (relatively) will have when working in a large company, because there is absolutely working hours are clearly defined, but when working at a start-up you are unlikely to be able to accurately plan when you relax and when to work. Perhaps the rest will have to be postponed until better times. Like a dream.

What does that mean for the candidate?:

This means that you need to set priorities: if you want to become a universal soldier - choose start-up. You want to become an incredible professional in something one - you large companies. As you can imagine, and he and the candidates have different strengths. But both will be in demand.

4.5 Prestige:

In Russia still believed that a start - it is something frivolous (in principle understandable, given that in runet start-ups like to call the online stores selling fake boots and a coffee shop franchise), but the line in the summary with the mention well-known international corporations - is top class.

In the US, is bucking the trend and work in start-ups is considered more and more the promising: over the past few years the number of graduates of top MBA schools by the end of the departed not Goldman Sachs / McKInsey etc. It increased by an order. Over time, this trend, we believe, will be applicable in Russia (we all late).

On the other hand, if we recall the "prestige" of a personal nature, we can safely tell you that a start-up, though does not give you a solid ground under their feet, but it gives you the strength and the idea that you can do anything. The truth is everything. Make PR-company? Easy! Come up with a new project as part of its? Did.

You will always feel part of the team, whose members are always at the helm. In corporations, you also take place in a strictly calibrated at a large ship, and will be responsible for any problem in it. This gives you the opportunity to become a professional and just a connoisseur of your cover, but far from the wheel. And the sea is difficult to see!

Separately, (not even paragraph 4.75) would like to mention one more thing, at first sight, inconspicuous difference. The work in the corporation = work. Working in a start-up = lifestyle. We think comments here are unnecessary. Believe us, we know!

In conclusion, I want to bring up a little. So.

    

You should go to work in a corporation, if you:

a) have already decided what exactly you want to do (hint: and that brings you pleasure)

b) want to "sleep" and not be "on the razor's edge" 24/7

c) want to "pump" their skills at the expense of the employer

d) prefer to separate the concept of "work" and "private life"

You should try his hand at start-up, if you:

a) have not decided exactly what I want to and / or want to try different areas and at the same to become a professional in several areas

b) ready to be connected 24/7, and take to heart all the success or failure of the project

c) willing to do to look for ways to pump you need skills

d) you want to make your life described by the equation "work = life"

And finally, some points in the direction of start-ups in the form of quotes:

The more elusive the boundaries between your work and life, the more successful you probably are in both.

Search For A Job And Enjoy Life

Week, month, year - job search after graduation may be delayed. DW tells how to spend this time for the benefit of future career. And for myself.

Search jobs after graduation often delayed and instead of the expected two or three weeks, takes many months. Every day self-esteem drops lower and lower, and the only entertainment is becoming every minute checking email while waiting for news from the prospective employer. But this time can be carried out much more efficiently, to the benefit for future careers as well as for himself.

Time to act :

Of course, the most important during the job search - to find work. And do it actively. We woke up - and more! Read the ads in the newspapers, look for suitable offers on the sites of employment, going to job fairs, interested friends have not cleared a place in their company ...

"But to do this for eight hours a day, sending their documents to all companies in a row, it would be too much. It is better to concentrate on the job that you really interested in, and devote more time to each application," adjusting "it for a specific position and the company" - convinced Lucas Grosse Klёnne (Lukas große Klönne), chief editor of the blog on the topic of career online employment exchange

Those in search of work has to take part are advised to contact an expert it is possible with the area that you would like to devote myself in the future. "You can get in a call center, work on specialized fairs in the office. So you not only get hands-on experience, but also to meet new people. And it is very important. Through the direct contacts and the recommendation of friends in Germany, for example, is in the middle every second job ", - explained Lucas Grosse Klёnne in an interview with DW.

Will fill a forced pause and volunteering, I'm sure Ilka Bucher (Ilka Buecher), head of the Career Center of the University Luneburg. Money volunteering, of course, does not work, but the decoration of the resume becomes clear. Jobs in nursing homes, care for children, support large families ... These facts of your biography and say to the employer: a "soft skills" - the ability to communicate, work in a team - everything is in order. In addition, voluntary work brings a great moral satisfaction. And with faith in themselves and find a job much easier.

My e "i"

Time for dinner ... And do not look at whether your favorite social network? Not for fun. "What is the impression formed about you of a man who" zaguglit "your name? It is important that you have been presented on the Internet in a good light," - emphasizes Lucas Grosse Klёnne. Instead photo corona dance on a table with a Christmas party is to post information about the university, and their specialty areas of practice. It makes sense to have a profile on professional social networks, for example, Xing or LinkedIn. Ask the professor "post it" for you a brief description, at least in a couple of sentences, and the head of the practice - to describe your accomplishments.

Search For A Job And Enjoy Life

If you - a representative of the creative profession, spend time trying to make your own website and publish their work there. I can not wait to share my thoughts about the future profession? Start a blog to describe their ideas, comment on the news on topics of interest to you. At a minimum, these things will convince personnel officers that you are familiar with the computer. At most, they are interested in the information you provide. This means that a call with an invitation to an interview does not have to wait too long.

Tighten the knowledge and self-esteem :

That evening: the time to indulge in pleasant memories ... for example, how in school you studied French for three years, and the university went to the Polish elective. Then why not enroll in a language course or a refresher? Additional foreign language will improve your chances of employment. No language skills? Go to the workshop, become a volunteer at the university. Do not forget to regularly update the resume.

However, if the job was delayed, the problem may be not so much an excess of time as a loss of faith in yourself. "Of course, it discourages, if you sent 20 applications and have not received any positive response," - says Lucas Grosse Klёnne. What to do? "Enjoy life! Make things which had never got around: get right, learn to play the guitar. This will help distract and recharge your batteries - suggests the expert. - In the end, when you start working, you will live on the holiday before the holiday . So now you can even afford to go somewhere for a couple of weeks. "

In turn, Ilka Bucher is confident that if you want you can go on all six months. What if the interview take an interest in space Months of resume? "Tell me, what have dreamed about this trip a lifetime and made efforts to fulfill the dream, when the opportunity presented itself. It will describe you as a person who set goals and achieve them," - she said.

Tips For Building A Career In A Large Organization

WHO TOPOM WAS NOT, HE DID NOT SEE LIFE. Living in a big corporation is fundamentally different from the world of small or small companies. Those who are in the corporate world as an adult or after work experience in the service, project business, where everything is tied to the result, may experience serious difficulties in building a career.

Typically, the most difficult to account for those who by their facial features refers to the "doer" and not the "functionaries". First - this is the people for whom it is important to achieve real measurable results. They are like a fish in water feels in project selling and marketing divisions. They can ignore the bureaucratic barriers to the extent that it does not prevent the achievement of business objectives. "Functionaries" are easily adapted to the environment where the work is built around procedures, regulations, rules. For them, the hours of RAM are not the problem, on the contrary, participation in all events, one way or another reflect the processes, it is the work.

The top managers of the reach both of them, but with different energy consumption. The laborers have to adapt to the unusual pastime or a meaningless event. That ye workers often underestimate the importance of political processes in the company. They find it difficult to conduct multi-way talks within the company, to take into account the interests of different groups and wait until finally it will be possible to develop a simple work.

In my experience working in the corporate world and the experience of counseling usually I give the following advice to those who are in the corporate world for the first time, after work in the service of the company, or is an obvious doer of their profile. 

Tips For Building A Career In A Large Organization

1. Be prepared for the fact that at the crucial moment of your results will be judged not on the facts, figures, indicators, and by the fact that someone said something. Or that all your exploits at any time can be mitigated, if you make something on the brink of corporate traditions. For example, dismissing the old employee who sabotaged your work. Or, God forbid, a couple of these.

2. Never attribute all the laurels of victory. Correct head give the laurels to his team. A correct corporate players - part laurels always delegate colleagues at the same level of the hierarchy.

3. Immediately determine for themselves that the results of your work in a corporation - it's not just the turnover-profit-margin, cost-efficiency. It is your efforts to maintain the circuit in the safety organization and integrity. And that means - building constructive relationships with all the key people and maintaining them.
And the most intimate advice, do not print - no one believe.

Why A Career Is Not Built. Experience Advising Executive

Carried out in recent months, session to assess potential career leaders   It showed that many very difficult to form their own future in the profession.

Sales Director, self-filling questionnaire career potential, commented "The question about the plans through   5 years was the most difficult. " In an open question "Describe   a person who is an example for you to build a career, "very few people respond. Not because of the people around there, and therefore,   it is difficult to understand someone Else's success in building a career. As well as its own way, another career   seen emerging spontaneously.

Another example. Note in the title Profile LI what you're looking for a job. On my advice is not to reduce their status and not to frighten recruiters such a statement, one of the   interlocutors on the tape said, "What about me, they will look, if I do not I find a job?".

This is the root of problems.   Many people think that   if you are a   source   needs work, this status will be   automatically attracted to you recruiters and employers. Like, once you put yourself in the status of "candidate", you are beginning to assume a mysterious light in which all flock.

Do not fly off. Do not expect. Not least because it is filtered Hedhantery contacts in social networks on the other filters - industry experience, the level of the position, education, achievements, and the like. For them, it is important that you at least something out of yourself   You represent, and that your accomplishments are reflected in specific words in your profile.

Ideally, you also know precisely what you want. Because in this case, your actions are attracting only those   hedhanterov and employers with whom the likelihood of mutual affection much higher. 

Why A Career Is Not Built. Experience Advising Executive

You, of course, You can bypass all hedhanterov and discuss with them himself and his past, hoping to find something interesting. You may have very valuable candidate. Suppose you are lucky enough to communicate with high-level professional who is ready to see in you the opportunity for themselves, sooner or later earn royalties for your employment. Then there's the chance that together with you to speculate aloud   on where you go.

But, most likely, will not be so, and in the agency's database will comment against your name, you do not know what you want, and it is not interesting candidate.

Nobody but you is not interested in to make your future happen exactly in the form in which you think he is. Or at least near approximation. Creating an image of a professional future - it is difficult, but important.

Common Mistakes People Make Career Restless Soul

We begin to discuss with anyone my new practice of career counseling, then the question arises - and often does happen that a person all his life was an accountant, and then dropped everything and decided to become a writer? There is the view that analysis of his career only needs to put a full stop on all his experiences and go in the perpendicular direction. 

Quite the opposite. The analysis of the way is necessary, so as not to deviate from the straight line of the career. Because it is the shortest way to the finish line as well. then the least expensive and most clear in terms of the necessary. We talk with the leaders about career lines that have their origins in the past (education and the first years of operation). Experience shows that those who build their working path without deviating much from the line wins.

What are the most common errors committed restless soul.

1. All times are learning something new, thinking that the unknown will be more motivated to work than the already developed area of expertise. This is not about 2-3 basic education (though ideally, that they too were only a logical set) It's about the knowledge from many different areas, obtained in addition to them - training courses, training courses, seminars, courses again. And all the while different areas - the finance, the staff. The list in the summary in such cases is long, the eyes diverge.    And not only the man himself, but also for the employer. 

Win in the present circumstances, those who master and professional in their specialization, who has spent more than 10 thousand. Hours on mastering one subject and not rushed. 

2. Industry break. That's my problem formulated one of the leaders, who after 10 years of experience in the food industry happened to be among the engineers. In his case, the problem was not even in the industry, it was an attempt to become a great boss.   But he suffered a stress for more when he realized that his detailed knowledge of processes and technologies in this case, no one needs. 

Avoid throwing the industry. Viewing 2-3 branches - of variability is enough for a man 40-45 years. 

Common Mistakes People Make Career Restless Soul

3. Chaotic promotion hierarchical ladder. Many people underestimate the importance of the consistent development of management skills. If you are a department head jumped to the position of director of the department, bypassing intermediate position Head of Department,   highly probable that you are missing something in their competence.   This is an important and complex issue, analyze it in detail again and again. Another option is chaos in the area - go to another company to a lower level just because the pay is better and the grass is greener. 

The winners are those who, even if the pace has been steadily creeping up the turtle. Because it corresponds to the laws of nature - the older-wiser, more experienced, more responsible, wider horizon and better results, etc.

7 Signs Of Readiness Of Employees To Improve

Which employees deserve a raise? This complex issue is very often to the head. According to experts The Daily Muse, in determining the best worker should pay attention to various aspects, including its relation to the profession, willingness to work overtime, and the desire to help colleagues. 

In addition, we should not forget that every increase would be an incentive not only for the individual employee, but also for all members of the team.

№ 1. They have excellent results:

The numbers should not be the main criterion for promotion, but they are very important. In addition, good statistics will help the manager to convince the higher authorities of the need for the employee's career.

№ 2. The working day does not end exactly at 17:00:

Of course, for the sake of the employees move up the career ladder should not be delayed on a daily basis in the workplace, and to give up lunch break. However, in determining the best team member employee willingness to stay after work or come in the output is a key factor. Pay attention to those who own offers to help work overtime.

6 Features A Truly Dedicated Staff

Let us once and for all dispel doubts: dedication to the company has absolutely nothing to do with seniority, writes Business Insider.

Who is more true: An employee who has worked 20 years, which makes the required minimum, criticizes you and your company at work and in society, and often not very quietly destroys your decisions? Or an employee who works six months a friendly responds to your desire activities and injected as Pope Carlo every day to help you and your company to achieve the goals?

It depends on the experience, of course, but employers are often observed at the dedication of those who work in the company for six months. Dedicated employees work hard for their salaries and tend to the success of your company. They may one day leave, but while they are working for you, they are doing their best for the company and often put the interests of the company above their own. Their loyalty can be shown the most amazing way.

Here are six qualities especially dedicated employees:

1. They see you as a person:

Remember when you were in school and are faced with your teacher, for example, at the grocery store? It was an incredible confusion. The teacher should not have to exist outside of the school. You did not see your teacher as a man who was wearing shorts, make friends, he wore a T-shirt with the image of the group Grateful Dead and generally lived. Your teacher was not a man, he was a teacher.

Many employees see their superiors as well. This means that they do not see you as a person with dreams and hopes, fears and insecurities. You're not a man, you - the boss.

Especially dedicated staff overturn labor relations: they know that you want to help them to achieve professional and personal goals and what you want for them all the best, and they also want all the best to you both at work and in personal life. They see you as more than just a boss and treat you accordingly.

2. They tell you what you least want to hear:

As a rule, the larger the steps of the career ladder separates you from the person, the less likely that it will contradict you. For example, your employees can take another position or even tell you that you are wrong. Their immediate subordinates are far less likely to state a position, not similar to yours. And begin staff will build on the general opinion of the company, at least, when you - the listener.

Especially dedicated staff know that you most need to hear what you least like to hear what your ideas can not work, that your view is not true that you made a mistake. They will tell you if they know that you care about moving forward.

3. They will never criticize you in front of others:

"Criticize bosses" - is a game played by almost every employee, at least sometimes. (One of your employees are probably talking about you right now.) In part, they criticize you, because it's a way to let off steam, but mostly they do it because we all think, at least sometimes, that we can do a better job than the person to whom we are working.

They will never criticize you in front of others

Criticism, ridicule, irony - when you're at the helm, they are commonplace. They also gradually erode the respect that you have been deserved. Particularly dedicated employees understand this. They do not gossip, they do not scoff, they do not talk behind your back, they show respect for you, even when you are not there, and expect to receive an answer in the same.

4. They express their disagreement privately:

Disputes and disagreements helpful. Weigh the pros and cons of the decision, to find fault, to exchange views - every leader wants to hear what he or she thinks the team. This not only helps to understand it stimulates.

They express their disagreement privately

Loyal employees believe that they are free to share their opinions in the same way as you. In fact, they believe in what you want them to do it, because you and the company benefit from the honest exchange of different opinions and points of view. But once the decision was taken ...

5. They fully support your decision and you are in public:

They fully support your decision and you are in public

Surely you have at least one meeting where one of the staff said, "Look, I do not think it is right to do, but I

was told that we were going to do it anyway. So let's at least try" . After this little speech anyone ever tried? Even when they do not agree with the decision, really dedicated staff are not trying to prove you wrong. They do everything possible to prove that you are right.

6. They tell you when they need to go:

Have you ever met a wonderful dedicated staff, which is not just an ordinary worker remarkable. Because of this, you want them to stay. You need them to stay.

They tell you when they need to go

However, sometimes they need to get away: for the best possibilities of another way of life, to work in a new field of activity or start their own business. But they also know that their departure will create a huge hole, so they say in advance to give you time to prepare.
