No good deed goes unpunished. That's what it's like to be an employee. Ever heard of all the hardworking people behind <revolutionary product>? Of course not. You traded a "safe" paycheck for your time and energy. Not more, not less. If you're really that good at executing, you can become a founder yourself and trade one set of problems for another. Maybe take a sabbatical and build something you care about. Whatever you do, don't carry a victim mentality to your next interview.
