I just got out of my 12 year old startup and took a full time, real job. I told them upfront I would probably last 6-9 months, and we are planning my projects accordingly. I have to say it is the most relaxing thing I have ever done in the last 12 years. I come to work, do the work, socialize with other employees at lunch, do more work, and then go home. The magic is that when I go home, I don't have any other responsibilities. I don't care about sales, hitting payroll, leases, bank covenants, customer issues... I can definitely see how people could be lulled into doing this year after year. The other plus side is I get to see how another business is being run (truthfully this is my first real job working for someone). I also get an 'employee' perspective, something that is invaluable. I get to see their view of management and infrastructure. I would say it's a great way for an entrepreneur to regroup and get perspective. (my experience is a bit skewed since I'm working for a quite amazing company.. though if it were less functional that would be a learning experience of a different kind)
