Why you should aim to be at a company with a lot of users

This is something I wish I did earlier on..

First I worked at a small startup, I dont think anyone used what we builtand it was horrible.

My next few jobs were working at B2B enterprise software companies where not daily active users used the product.
My current job has LOTS of users, and Im one of them. And Im happy and it has done a lot for my career for credibility.

Why is this important?

1. From a technical perspective its important to be in a company where oh shit protocol is in place and you know how to fix a problem that could be potentially costing the business hundreds of thousands of dollars

2. When you are networking or going into an interview, if they have used your product your credibility goes through the roof and they want to work with you.

Its ok not to be at a company like this, but strive to get there one day.

It will help your career development and the problems you get to solve will most likely be more fun.
