Even if you are not in it for the money, joining a big company gives you good income right away. Speaking from experience, the quality of life change when you don't have to worry about daily expenses is enormous. Being able to buy high quality groceries, eating out when you want to, spending time/money on hobbies, etc. can improve quality of life significantly. Besides these selfish reasons, it's also possible to donate a much higher percentage of your income for good causes.Between my wife and I (both software engineers), we have played this VC startup game 5 times. Never again.
