Startup vs big Tech company growth opportunities

I just took on my first saas sales job as a account Executive for a small start in my city.


With only 35 employees so far and expecting to be at 100 by next year.


This being my first start up experience what does growth opportunities usually look like in terms of time line and possibilities with a start up vs a big established tech company.

ask for more responsibility (perform in your role first). be first there, last to leave, work weekends, and show them you're the right person for any vertical movements they may be hiring externally for.

id always go start up over established.

Things can move quick. If you excel this year you might be able to move up to a bigger segment to sell into and in a few years be leading a team of sellers.
