Why I Quit My Job to Start a Tech Company
Doing the opposite now.  Spent the last year in a very early stage startup.  Finally got fed up with the low pay ("but we're giving you equity...") and the lack of direction.  It seemed like every other week we had a new direction.  And the latest new direction was so bizarre that I'm tempted to make a mockumentary about the whole thing.<p>Finally had enough of the startup scene; I'm going to go to work for a very large semiconductor company getting paid 2.5x what I was making at the startup.  Feels like I'm getting a real adult job again.<p>tl;dr: I learned that not every statup idea is worthwhile.
