I just finished my undergrad course and I have a really good resume with two international experiences. For the past year I have been working on a business idea that I strongly believe could be very profitable. However, big companies that work on the area I graduated from are hiring and I think I have a good chance with them. What should I do? Working for a big company first worth the risk of having my idea developed by someone else? Is it a good trade off -time spent working for a big company vs experience gained-?
I have over built a multi million dollar business and also have 10 years of experience working for large companies.
I have a different take on this. You should work for startups for 2 to 3 years. In the meanwhile, try to find problems for which people are ready to pay money to get solutions to.
See if you can build a business on the side around it. You might fail many times. But dont give up. Once you go through this drill, your chances of building a successful company will be high and also at the same time, you will figure out if sarting something on your own is something you really enjoy doing.
All the best
