Most people work at startups because they can't get a job at google if they do they leave. Those who work at google at somepoint feel they need to be closer to the product/customer/action many leave and create a startup (because they have the google brand and can raise money). Those startups hire developers who can't get into google. You are at a certain point in the cycle. At somepoint you may move to creating your own startup (maybe not because you had a negative experience earlier). It's just the circle of life.
