Unclear why one would choose to work at a traditional Fortune 1000 type company these days, as opposed to a well funded growth startup - comp and job stability have become very comparable
Have spent a lot of time around f1000s recently— really think no one in tech has actually talked to someone at one. Dramatically more tuned in, sharp as hell, often drastically more politically capable than tech employees at the same level. Know many VPs+ in their late 20s

sorry let me carry on strawmaning them as “Midwestern” and “less ambitious” with a focus “on family”

Not meant as a diss on traditional Fortune 1000 companies - more a reflection of the fact that the risk of working a certain types of startups has largely decreased, and I do think you learn faster in startups (having worked at both)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

You know many late-20s VPs in the Fortune 1000? Is that mainly in biotech? Only reason I ask is that of the ~10 or 15 F1000 VPs I’ve met I can’t think of anyone below late 30s off the top of my head. These are all non-tech industries, though. (Also excluding banks, LOL)

Less so bio, lots of examples in care delivery / hospital systems / health payors
