Startup employees are unhireable especially if their first job was with one. They are unable to work in a big org where work process is lengthy & established. Their pay is abnormal, and the growth in a big organization is very slow to what they have experienced.

And not to forget their Stockholm syndrome of trying to "solve a problem" .

Toh kya karu? Big companies even if I am willing to adjust, anything I can show via CV so they hire me?

The real enginnering skill is in building large scale systems in big companies. You can just cause $100m loss because of small glitch in the code. Your architecture is supposed to get 100s of developers working concurrently and smoothly.

I would recommend startup employees to work for few years in large companies and understand how the code is actually built for scale. Startups will provide you autonomy to include any libraries in your code and show the result but not engineering skills.

Unhireable category of employees, how true is this?

Quoting from The Ken (which btw I would highly recommend).

How many of you think this is true for Bangalore and problems that we are facing now with this generation.
