Edit: Formatting My perspective is pretty well echoed here about the major differences.

Startup: High-energy, high-impact, high-volatility.

Enterprise: low-mid-energy, low-mid impact, low-volatility.

For me, when I look at this I look at it from the lens of what I want next in life, then figure out which option might give the best "Step" to it. Then I set a kind of timebox to it.

So for example, if I want to get back to feel that high-impact again... maybe I'd be willing to try a startup for lets say 6 months. I'd re-evaluate after that.

I think the timebox helps because it helps folks remember it isn't a permanent choice and re-evaluate what opportunities really exist where you are and elsewhere.
