Internships and career

Let's try thinking a little differently. How do you measure your work satisfaction?

is it the money you earn? or is it the work you do?

If you think doing good work matters a lot , so much that you could easily ignore the money coming in for first few years, than probably you should think about joining a startup

What is a Startup? A Startup is a company which is in its early stage of growth. It is most probably the founder of the company with a small team of five to ten people (or maybe less) working hard at a fabulous problem and to grow. There are two ways a startup could go: a) Really really big, or b) Go nowhere. The option is that you learn a lot from being part of a small group of people since you learn everything related to running a company and everything that goes on, which is an experience you will never get working for a corporate, and also if the startup grows big, you make a lot of money along with the founders.


What does it mean to work for a Startup? It would mean:

1. A committed job which would be an amazing place for passionate people
2. Slightly long hours of work
3. A very tightly knit team which is dedicated, passionate and probably the smartest set of people you will meet
4. Slightly lower salaries
5. High Payback options on success


Some Companies that i have found worthwhile to think about:
3dgraphics.com (graphics)
Alabot (Natural language processing and AI)
Appnetix techno pvt ltd. (Java, J2EE)
Olive e-buisness (.NET)

I'll add a few more names later, meanwhile take a look on these two.
Alabot is my personal favourite, they have good work.
