There are a lot more factors in a successful and enjoyable career than salary and hours worked. I wouldn't take a job that pays double what I make now and has half as many hours if those hours were nothing but sitting in a dark room. You can get a lot of satisfaction from building something meaningful with a team that people enjoy using. Not that you can't do that in a big company, but all development jobs at big Corp are not that. I would tear my hair out if my only job every day was figuring out how to get more people to click on sidebar ads.
