I recently passed 5 years of work experience as a software developer, mostly working at small companies/startups. I’ve been at my current position for almost 2 years and the startup is around 100 employees.
The company is doing great, we just raised another round of funding. I’m preforming well and I’m up for promotion to senior software developer next performance review.
With all that being said. My goal has always been to get into a big tech company and I think the earlier I do the better.
Overall I really enjoy working at this startup but I have always been career driven and I think going to a big tech company would be the right career move. Am I correct on this being the right career move or is this just the pressure developers feel to work at a big tech company?
