job opportunities come up that you could apply for, you don't because you're holding out for something better Your next job just has to be better than your current one to make the jump worthwhile. If you hate your current job as much as you say, it shouldn't be that difficult to find one at least incrementally better. I think the problem isn't that you hate your current job so much, I think you just hate the idea of working for someone else. You're probably also used to the security that working for the man brings, compared to the uncertainty and possibility of failure that founding a startup brings.
