The cool quotient, in this case, is not governed by the amount of money you make later but by the satisfaction, excitement and thrill of risk associated with working in a startup. Not to forget, more often than not you also tend to learn a lot more in a startup than the usual big corp job.

>>Working for a cool startup is very very cool.
No, working for something like Google or Facebook in its start up days is cool. And that is like once in a 15 year opportunity.
In reality you can do a lot of things on the side in a 9-5 job. Than working crazy hours at a crappy start up .
Yes working at big companies is not very much profitable, but neither is working at a bad start up. Bad starts up are worse than big companies.
