I left a great well paying job at TripAdvisor for a startup. It was definitely a hard decision and I don't know which way it would have gone had I not gotten into YC. Had my job offered to double my salary or something rediculous like that I probably still would have left, but coming from a middle-class family where having a high paying job was a major motivator (for the stability, not the luxury), it would have been a very painful thing to do.
