Part of the reason this happens is probably because ... people don't realise that (a) working for a start up put constraints one's resources (financial etc.) even at a personal level ... (b) it's also has social pressures associated ... being a VP at IBM is socially more acceptable than even a CXO at some unknown start up (c) it "HIGH-RISK-HIGH-RETURN" game ... can't avoid the risk part. @sturaga

Just a regular human thought to have, and those kind of thoughts always creep in when you are feeling low and when work is frustrating. But yes, the thrill is something else :) Well perhaps it’s not so much the fear of not climbing as the insecurity of not knowing whether or not your business will take off while your peers have a relatively less stressful life (plus a real salary!)
