As a soon-to-be graduate in Germany I can second all of your guesses. ANYONE I know is going to either join BigCorp Inc or staying at Uni. I had a feeling for a long time that that was not for me and I started looking into doing a startup. For now I am not ready so I am going to work for one, but I am really the odd one among my peers. Parents also think it's weird when you had this opportunity to work for a big name. So in Germany a lot of it is definitely cultural and perception, I imagine its similar in the UK.
