Most of us don't do startups for the money... obviously it's hard to walk from $500k annually, but if your hearts not in it, that seems justification enough to leave.

Due to impending funding issues, bizarre founder decisions, and lack of team work, I recently passed the stage of my startup job from "this feels like my baby" to "this feels like a job". What's been helping me a lot is building something on the side. It's helped me gain new skills, give me ideas of what I want to do, blow off steam, etc.
It's also helped me realize that if I find something I want to do I should do it, but there's also nothing wrong with just having a job as long as I have other things to make up for that. Plus organizations can change too. Sometimes for the better.
Sorry for this nonsense. :)
