Here is my experience. I'm 32 now, in 2006 the company I worked for, Neven Vision got acquired by Google. Given the choice to go to work on a startup at the time. I chose to work on the startup. And then spent the later 4 years building it with a team of friends. We eventually grew Ucubd to six people, and got some great press getting featured on Jason's Shark Tank with Groupon. That was kind of a highlight. The rest of it was pure hell. If I wasn't in my late 20's, I would have had a thousand grey hairs. Your first startup will either be a knockout success in short order, but most likely it will kick your ass. I wish I could tell my younger self to just go work at Google. What am I doing now? Working on a startup of course :). 2FB.me .
