I had this feeling a while ago, and I found that I got a lot more excited about the technology by using it to work on something I chose. Being employed by a big company, you're either working on what someone else decided was important, or you're just doing busy work - it's very easy for either one of those to not excite you. I think joining a start up would help you if it was just the corporate environment that was choking the enthusiasm out of you, but I think working on anything that you're personally motivated to do will make you enjoy your day-to-day life a lot more.
