In my 30+ years in the workforce I've worked at large companies, small companies, startups, government organizations, and not-for-profits. Whether or not I ever get rich, I'm planning on spending the rest of my career working for startups. Why? Because it is exciting, it is fun, it is fast paced. I get to build things, I get to innovate, I get to play with and try the very latest technology. There is minimal bureaucracy. I know the names of everyone in my company. I find my work is infinitely more satisfying than just going in, doing what I have to, collecting a paycheck (regardless of its size), and coming home. Young people think I'm cool. It is a lifestyle and career choice and after all those other experiments - one that is working for me.

I work in a gigantic company and I feel I get a lot of flexibility and the scope to be creative. I worked at a startup previously and I was tightly bound by the technology stack and had to deal with silos.
