> If that one tenth the salary is enough to cover your monetary needs, then why pay the price for the other nine tenths? What price? I think startup hours are

  There are more reasons for doing things than money. If a particular job does not satisfy them, when another one does, that is a price you pay (well, a trade-off with a net loss, so to speak). It's highly personal, I suppose, but a rhetorical question of "who in their right mind" assumes a lot about what a right mind is an isn't. Yet my response gets downvotes somehow.

    I honestly believe that most startups are no better than banks, even in the "job satisfaction" category. Purpose of work is approximately equally meaningless, given that you're most likely working on "disrupting the industry of lightbulb changing" or yet another ad business. The work you do at a startup might be more interesting at the beginning, when the infrastructure is being set up, but it quickly gets repetitive yet someone (you) has to do it, and unless it's a very rapidly growing startup, you won't get promoted any time soon, in contrast to banks which usually have a well-known career path set up for you.
