3 Tips For Choosing Your Next Job
COMPANY SIZE:
Some people value this more then others but I think this is one of
the most important things to consider when looking for a new company.
I’ve had a chance to experience both ends of the spectrum from my time
at AOL when I worked on TMZ.com the AOL/WB joint venture (thousands of
employees) to my recent experience at a tech incubator K2 Media Labs
where I was the 2
nd employee on a brand new ecommerce site
and saw building a business from the ground up. I’ve noticed that this
distinction in company size is very important to where one is in their
career and can make a big difference in achieving your personal goals.

While at the larger companies I was able to learn a great deal about how
a massive organization is run, managed, structured, and with that all
the positives and negatives that come with it. I did however learn that
for me personally I wanted more of a challenge and the ability to be
more involved in the higher level conversations. For some the ability to
progress in a larger organization may be better for them.
I then learned that a smaller company with little funding and starting from the
ground up (where I relied on others for the key decisions still) was a
great experience but once again not the right fit for me. Ultimately you
want to decide if you're at a stage where you value networking with a
large number of employees and learning from those above you or if you're
ready to be at a smaller organization where you will have more control
but less senior management from which to learn from
