Startups can be a ton of fun. Also, it is sometimes very stressful and ultimately a very different experience than working at a company like Google, Meta Apple and so on.
Benjamin Popper is the Senior Director of Content at Stack Overflow and is our guest on the show today.
The background on today's episode is that both Ben and Sean have worked for startups as well as in Big Tech, and they have lots of friends and former colleagues who have struggled with navigating and thinking through the transition from big tech to startups, particularly for engineering roles.
In today's show, we walk through the choices faced while making such a transition. We focus on what are the options you have and how can you align these options with the ultimate goal of becoming the best software engineer you could be.
