Why should fresh graduates choose to work for a startup?
Written having worn both hats: the graduate who joined a startup, and the founder who could only afford to hire graduates.
Most of the region's fresh graduates start their careers chasing jobs with big corporations, because they believe that will allow them to build up their CVs and get better opportunities later.
On the other hand, many entrepreneurs face difficulty in recruiting the caliber of employees they need to scale up. Usually founders of startups don't have enough resources to recruit experienced staff members, and they think that they can't count on inexperienced fresh graduates to work for them.
So far in my career, I've worn both hats: as a fresh graduate working for a startup, and a founder of a startup who only had the option of recruiting fresh graduates.
