If you're early career, getting a household name on your resume can pay dividends for decades to come, even though the actual job (day to day work, compensation) will probably be not that great.

Conversely, if you're late career, selling yourself as being able to introduce BigCo know-how to a startup can be lucrative.

Nice perspective. It's win-win in any case. In my case, I am not too early or not late in my career. Already worked in startup for 5 years so BigCo looks good then?
