Why Should You Work For a Start-Up? is my attempt to match traits with characteristics required to work at a start-up! It's no promotional post to glorify 'Life @ a Start-Up'. Just a human approach to help you find your calling!

1. Why should you work for a start-up?
9 GOOD REASONS WHY
Krishni Miglani

2. Preface
• This Presentation is not another promotional post
about how glorious is the life of start-ups.
• The approach here simply focuses on traits one
should ideally possess to gel in a start-up team , so
you can match up with yours and decide for
yourselves.
• One can consider this more of a ‘Are you a cultural
fit for a start-up?’ piece of information.

3. Let’s get this STARTED!

4. #1 Food for Mr. Hungry
Do you always have high expectations about
the stuff you see?
It could be a history class, a Christopher
Nolan movie, a birthday party or a blueberry
cheese cake you just had!
A part of you always wish , this could be
BETTER. You strive for more, ALWAYS. Yes,
this is an alternate phrase for passionate.

5. #2 Finisher
You’re not just a wishful thinker about stuff
getting better, you actually make genuine
efforts to change it.
It could be the sad environment after losing
a major competition or failing an exam, your
effort could be as minimal as setting the
mood.It could be bigger things like coming
up with solutions to electronic waste. What
is common, is finding solutions to the
problem.

6. #4 Face to Face with Failure
You face failure with a smile! There’s a
saying ‘the only people afraid of failing are
the ones who haven’t faced failure’
Yes! you’ve lost athletic races, scored a zero
on some tests, fallen down trees while
climbing them like a ninja monkey(yup that’s
a thing)! But your reply has always been ,
“Scars of a Warrior”. Ok, this is dramatic!
But you get the POINT.

7. #4 Five steps ahead of Facebook
You are ahead of the social media drama.
Yes , Selfies , Party , Touristy photos aren’t
YOUR thing. You know you have a life, you
just don’t want the world to always know
what you’re upto.
This in no way means your lack of a social
life. Just means you appreciate the smell of
surprises more.

8. #5 Friends with Risk
You like the thrill uncertainty gives you!
You like the fact that life is so unpredictable
and that you’re gifted with the opportunity
to explore it.
You hear a funny noise in the night, you
jump out of bed to see who is it?
Risk Lover Alert.

9. #6 Fighter
Not only are you a warrior < insert tree
climbing reference here> , you also stand up
for what you believe in.
You’ve been called a passionate debater, a
perspective changer, person fit to be a
lawyer…. Yup, same old drill! You fight for
what you think is right.

10. #7 Fun-ny Person
There’s a PUN here. Not only are you fun
with people, you also crack some lame
jokes. Haha! Kidding, just another way to say
you’re fun and people like having you
around.

11. #8 Fairly Autonomous
Just another way to say , you like working
both in teams and as an autonomous unit.
You like the combination of working on
ideas, alone and along with people.

12. #9 Feedback Seeker
While autonomy is enjoyed by you, you also
seek feedback from the people you care
about.
A little complement or two doesn’t harm.
You don’t like flattery, but you appreciate an
honest feedback . After all , it’s the only way
you get better next time, Right?

13. Conclusion
So,Here’s what you do :
Take a mental note of the number of YESs. If
they’re more, you know where you will be
applying when you graduate.
If the number of NOs, have your resume
ready for Mckinsey Already! There’s a lot of
internships and achievements you need to
list there.

14. P.s. the love for alphabet F , just generated
while preparing the Presentation.
No secret story attached there already.
Okay then, Thank you !
