This comment comes from a lack of start-up experience. That being said, I've always been hesitant to work at a start up because of the potential long hours. I'm not afraid of working hard or intimidated...I just want time with my family and friends. I don't like the idea that if I sacrifice everything now, I'll rise up the career ladder and be at a wonderful spot. Well yeah, maybe that's true...but I probably won't be in my 20s, and maybe my 30s anymore, so I wont be able to run (literally) around as easily, or stay up as late having drinks with friends (those friends may then be married and not want to have late nights anymore). As I mentioned, I have not worked at a start up, I'm relying on what I've heard through friends. Family and friends for me always come first.
