I didn't see a word about /what/ you want to build. Most people leave their jobs and pursue startup life, which is not glamorous, because they have a burning, necessary passion to build something and solve a problem. And it's that passion that will get you through the ups and downs of startup life. That said, if you just want to build cool stuff using new technology, there's always the chance you could just up and move to SFO and get a job /at/ a startup depending on your skill-set.
