Is a start-up where you will find your desired job?

When I started my search earlier this year, I decided to look into start-ups besides the traditional job market. I had worked in very entrepreneurial environments, but they were not start-ups. So I sought someone who had.

So I reached out to a colleague, Alan Bignall, who has been successful in several start-ups. He immediately sketched out a grid to help me understand different types of companies and the mental position you need to have for each. Then he asked me "What type of job are you looking for and which of these companies fit you?" and instructred to think about so I really sought out what fit me - as it would be the best opportunity for success.

After meeting, I recreated the grid and Alan agreed to let me publish it on my site. So give it a look and hope it helps if you are looking at start-ups or early stage.
