It sounds like you've made your mind up about exiting but for others, working at smaller startups usually gives you far more exposure to new areas of the stack/problems that you may not have come across. In the last year I've picked up a ton of devops knowledge, learnt UX best practises so can design far better interfaces, and I've learnt a new frontend framework. I just wouldn't have got if I'd stayed in my 'steady' role.
