He says "Then, a few years later, they finally quit their job, but only after having spent years in an industry they didn’t enjoy, and that didn’t really advance them toward their long term ambitions." It seems to me there's a glaring oversight in his statement, which is that they could very well have gained some valuable domain expertise that will serve them well if they later decide to found or work at a startup. I mean, VC's so often mention the importance of domain expertise and the way you usually get that is working at an established company first before you f(l)ounder around at a startup.
