Do you think you'd have the time and motivation to do a side project if you worked at a big company? I'm also curious to see how stressed you were working at a start-up. If you're getting as much stress as the founders without the potential

Naw, I'm paid hourly. Also, I'm not that important. If the job was stressful I'd probably put more effort back into finding a start-up job.
