I did the same, except I ended up at two startups which became toxic and stressful and not nearly worth the effort I put into them. Maybe I'm just not good at picking startups. Anyways, I'm back at a boring but high paying job and trying to focus less on the things I do at work and more on the things I do outside of it.

> trying to focus less on the things I do at work and more on the things I do outside of it This is an under-recommended but totally solid approach to a happy life. The takeaway I got from Po Bronson's "What Should I Do With My Life?" was that vocations are overrated -- your job might be funding the things that make you happy today and that's just fine. The secret is to be happy today, not to be miserable now because <some story about future happiness>.
