Comment on Ask YC: Why would someone leave his/her cushy job to join a startup?

Comments

I see it like this: I can always go and work for a big company and make good money. But right now, that's not what I want to do. I want to explore, I want to take risks, I want to be a little crazy. I am not really afraid since the worst that can happen is gaining experience. I am so incredibly valuable and smart and strong and [...] that I will get a high-paid job anytime I want. It's there, I just need to collect it. But I don't want to. Not yet.

So I guess the most valuable personality trait must be self-confidence (read: overconfidence).
