These are all good reasons, but they strike me as being much more valuable to a person that is new in the industry, rather than one with several years of experience. I can certainly see the appeal for someone looking for experience, but I still don't see it for a seasoned professional. To me it seems as the only valid dichotomy is between being a founder yourself or working as an employee in a more established (but still perhaps small) business.
