I'm now in the market as a young professional fresh out of school. The dream was always of course to build my construction empire some day but thats way too far ahead lol. Its been a debate in my head to go for bigger companies as it offers more opportunities and a wider range of work where I can learn more and fast or to start small and focus on baby steps for a more focused foundation? Any advice would be a gem.
 
If you're looking to learn fast and get exposure to different areas, a bigger company could be great. But if you want hands on experience and more responsibility early on, a smaller company might suit you better. Both options have their perks

Bigger companies for sure especially if you aim on building your own firm or empire. Quicker way to see how the actual game is played.

Beginning with smaller projects can really help you establish a strong foundation and gather some targeted experience right from the get-go. When you're ready for bigger challenges down the line, you can always move on to larger companies and more varied projects. It's really about finding that balance between learning and getting practical experience. What type of construction are you most passionate about?

if you want experience as a stepping stone, a small company would be just fine for a few years. be the best in your job, and you'll get to a bigger company in no time
