The thought and decision to quit a job should not be something we do only when we are unhappy and frustrated, but the result of a continuous evaluation of the balance between challenge and comfort. We should quit toxic environments, but that is an easy decision. Quitting a job that is not challenging enough is more difficult to do and, over the long term, defines who reach their potential and who stagnates below it. See text article.

College graduates weighing job offers from a startup versus a large tech corporation often ask me which one is better. People feeling stuck in large corporations are thinking whether or not they would do better in a startup. Essentially, large companies offer a structured environment with clear roles and responsibilities, a steadier compensation package, and the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals. A startup, on the other hand, can offer more excitement with opportunity to contribute more to the company success and a possible financial upside if the startup is successful. Other factors (company culture, success, products, etc.) might have larger impact on your experience, compensation, and learnings, so my advice is not to get caught up on the small vs. large company debate.
