A high-growth startup is about shipping things quickly, iterating, and building multiple product lines. They end up hiring senior talents and paying above-market salaries. That’s how VC money gets burnt.
A young, fresh-out-of-college kid continues being a fresher because the top dogs are leaving and joining. The growth is limited, and not all complaint about it as less responsibility and a lot of money.
There is a crazy bunch who would like to take more responsibility and lead from the front and should be elevated and given responsibility.
