Would you still avoid startups if the hours were not crazy and the salary was the same (or better) as at a non-startup?

Possibly, due to a lack of long term stability and job security. When every round of financing results in a different VC installing its own people in the company and shaking things up, I don't feel comfortable betting the life and wellbeing of my family on the fact that some 24 year old "product manager" is going to act rational.

In other words, they'd really need to pay me a lot more than an established company in order to offset my risk.

Only if they have a long enough runway and I think the idea is sound.
