Interesting. So once you're a founder you're pretty much stuck with entrepreneurship? Do companies just filter out resumes for entrepreneurs?

Do you think it's a matter of personality or just habit? Founders I would assume have the sense of urgency because it's their baby and there is much more skin in the game. As an employee you're paid to do a job, but a former founder carries that sense of ownership over. What if you just treated the job as a job, would that give a healthier balance?

Thanks for the perspective. Given the relative success financially of being a founder, combined with what seems like a period of sacrificing life outside of work, do you regret the being a founder? i.e. looking back would you do the same thing again?

from the ask-hn dept.

We hear a lot about the pros and cons of running a startup. The stress, emotional rollercoaster and uncertainty on one side and the learning, potential payout and exhilaration on the other.The perspective I don't hear often are founders (successful or not) that decide to go back to corporate life. What made you go back to being an employee and which "life" has been better?
