Start-up, SME, large corporation… Where to work and how to choose?
Start-up, SME, large corporation or non-profit: how to know where to work?
When looking for an internship, apprenticeship or job, people often focus on the job title and responsibilities. But they sometimes forget an essential element: the environment in which they will work.
Between a small business, a start-up and a multinational, the differences can be significant: versatility, autonomy, hierarchy, training, opportunities for growth… And no model is necessarily better than another!
In this episode, we break down the different company structures, their specific features and how they can change your daily professional life.
We also rely on two scientific studies to understand what drives our motivation at work and why loving your job is not always enough to thrive in it.
And above all, I share a few concrete ideas to help you identify what you are looking for in a company and better prepare for your future job interviews.
🎧 Enjoy the listen!
Mille parcours pro au micro, the podcast to discover jobs, explore career paths and build your career your way.
Links to the studies discussed:
The podcast Mille parcours pro au micro germinated in my head for several years. Since 2022, I have been brainstorming on this project, which makes a lot of sense to me. Time passed and I didn't dare to take the plunge. Then, in 2025, during a conversation with my nephew, this spark was ignited again. He had just obtained his baccalaureate and was completely lost on his future. We talked for several hours, my only objective being to reassure him and give him confidence, everything was going to be fine. Following these discussions, I got back to work. Gradually, a draft of the project took shape. With no particular technical knowledge on the subject, I started in January, constantly repeating to myself "better done than perfect". 3 months later, 10 episodes have been published and many more are to come. The target audience is between 15 and 25 I would say, they are looking for themselves, are asking themselves questions about their future, are afraid of making mistakes and wonder how to start a career. Parents, teachers and caregivers of young people are also an important target of this project. The ultimate goal of this podcast is to have a library of lots of different jobs, that we don't always suspect and/or for which we don't really know the missions, to have access to a lot of different careers to have lots of testimonies to identify with, and to discuss in a sometimes a little more philosophical way during solo episodes always on the world of work.
