There are lots of cool things to do at non-startup jobs. Also, I'm sure there is just as much grunt work that sucks to do at a startup as there is at any other job.

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.

Well. Sounds about right. For some people having ownership is what makes their day. And that's why they join start ups. It is much harder to get ownership of something in more traditional company.

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. :)
