Start-ups suck. I guess they're ok if you're really motivated, and I spent some time doing that, but I much prefer easy corporate 9-5.

Sure I'm not changing the world, but I get paid a fat paycheck and get plenty of time off to use it.

Startups expect you to buy into whatever promise they're selling, while corporate knows you're there for the paycheck and that you'll leave if they piss you off, so they generally treat you much better.

I've hired so many people burned out from startups and looking to take it easier. It can be good experience, but it's easy to get burned out after even a couple of years.
