DD 101 Startups or Large Companies? Cash vs Equity?

As you really start analyzing what you'd like to do for your career strategy, it's definitely worth a think to determine the pros and cons of joining either a startup or a large company, and how that may impact your ability to obtain short-term cash (wages) or long term renumeration (business ownership in the form of equity).

Not all equity is created equal especially since there are some firms where that matters, others where that equity will never amount to anything.

Thus, consider all the factors so you make the RIGHT decision for your future!
