I wonder why you are not a founder then if it is such a win-win situation as you paint it?

We’re not long time pals with the CEO, like they are with CTO. The company is basically built on my work, and will die if I leave.

Just found your own company if it’s a win/win life/work balance-wise

You don't sound like you're happy there. Perhaps you should consider leaving.
