Do you like what you actually do at your job? If yes - this is ideal job.
If no - that's what people going after when joining start-ups.

IMHO, the only reason to do a startup is for ownership. Working for one without ownership just sounds like a recipe to be overworked and underpaid.
There are many exciting things in many areas. I am glad someone find their job at traditional company exciting - this fulfill two very demanding parts - financial stability and fun.
Start-ups offer different thing, but core reason why people join these is the same - they like what working in start-up gives them. :)
