18, Just Finished Boards & Offered ₹30K/Month—Stay with Startup or Take the Job?
I'm in 12th, with just my last board exam left. I've been working at a startup without a salary, purely for learning, and recently got a call from a client. I met them, introduced myself, and now they don’t want to work with the startup—they want to hire me directly for ₹27-30K/month. My role is basically brand development, helping businesses grow and establish themselves.
Now, I’m really confused. Should I continue working with the startup, where I’m learning a lot and growing, or should I take the job with the client and start earning ₹30K/month at just 18? What would you do in my situation?
Immediate joiner - No location constraint !!
Sometimes, the best decisions come from tough experiences. Due to challenges in my recent project and salary concerns, I have taken the bold step of resigning from TCS without an offer in hand. I am currently serving my last month of notice period and actively exploring new opportunities in Product roles.
With 6+ years of experience in Creative services specialist, Database Management, Infotainment Test Engineering, Agile Practitioner and Product & Project Management in IoT, Education, CBG verticals, I am looking for roles where I can leverage my expertise while continuing to grow in Product based roles with Product companies and Startup's.
