Thu, 19 Jan 2012A survey from executive search firm Antal Russia shows that 89% of mid and senior level managers would take a job at a start-up company.
The main motivation for such a role is taking on challenging work (72%) and the opportunity to build the company from scratch (70%), as well as more freedom (58%).
Things scaring people away from for not working for a start-up include uncertainties around the future (75%), small salaries (45%) and less corporate structure than in larger firms (30%).
Vera Filatova, senior manager with Antal Russia, says: “Professionals who have reached the ’glass ceiling’ syndrome in a large company are more willing to move to a start-up. Quite often this move becomes a reason for rapid career growth as it helps to develop not only professional skills but management skills as well.”
