Thanks for your post. I’ve worked at big and small tech. One thing you didn’t talk about is breadth vs depth of responsibilities. At a startup, resources are scarce and you will need to be doing lots of things. You’ll learn a little bit about a lot. And you’ll have a lot more flexibility to try things out (eg- get in front of customers, try devops, etc). At big tech, things are generally more rigid. You are hired to do a job and you generally don’t get a chance to try things outside of your title without changing roles officially. On the other hand, you have more opportunities to get deep expertise.

Both have a lot to offer. YMMV
