Why Everyone Thinks Startups Are Better Than Jobs (Until Reality Hits) Startups sound cooler than jobs. Who wants to be โ€œEmployee #347โ€ when you can be โ€œFounder & CEOโ€? Social media makes it look like freedom, money, and Lamborghinis. Reality? Not so much. The Copy-Paste Startup Wave 1. Shopify store โ€“ Until they realize ads cost money. 2. Personal branding โ€“ Just posting motivational quotes. 3. Freelancing platform โ€“ As if Fiverr and Upwork arenโ€™t enough. Ever since Shark Tank India, Internet is full of โ€œCEOsโ€ running nothing but Instagram pages. The Harsh Truth โŒ No salary for years. โŒ No weekends. โŒ 90% of startups fail. So, Is It Really Better Than a Job? Jobs feel like a cage; startups feel like freedomโ€”until reality hits. If your โ€œbig ideaโ€ is just another Shopify store, congrats, youโ€™ve built yourself a jobโ€”without security. Startups can be betterโ€”but only if youโ€™re ready for the battle. Otherwise, that 9-to-5 isnโ€™t so bad after all. Expectations V/S Reality
