Problems with working at a big company
Published by Ryan Healy on June 19th, 2007 in Entrepreneurship, Recruiting, Work | 6 CommentsIf there is an overarching impact my generation is already having on the corporate world, it is entrepreneurship. Roughly 80% of my friends and acquaintances plan to start their own business at some point. Both males and females, college grads and current students, everyone wants to run their own business, and many of us will.
However, it is not practical to assume that everyone will. In fact, I would bet that less than half of the aforementioned people will take the plunge into entrepreneurship. The economy needs both entrepreneurs and employees to run successfully and lets face it, not everyone is cut out for the risky, constantly changing life of an entrepreneur.
That said, I don't think my friends will land at large companies, either. They'll go to smaller ones. Here are three reasons why large companies will have an increasingly difficult time trying to recruit and retain their young talent.
