The author should add "Founder's or CEO's promises of grandeur, huge exits, and unbelievable equity". I'm currently leaving for greener pastures (after three years), but this is so common in our industry that it's not even funny.

Over confident founders with delusions about how great their idea really is are the life force of said Stockholm Syndrome for employees.
