You should read PGs essays if you haven't done so yet. He did write about the topic longer and better than I could in this post. I'll just say that the difference in terms of what your lifestyle looks like is not as clear cut as you may think. Some "startups" are like owning a job and some jobs may give you extreme freedom. I've been in startups and in large organizations. Large organizations always need a few people who are on the side of the org chart. On a lighter note, in my case, startups were never a factor in getting better health, quite the contrary in some cases. But its just a result of how I did things not about how I made a living.
