> Work / life balance
Disagree here for one specific type of startup...remote (which I know you mentioned).
Here's an example day at BigCorp:
- Rise and shine at 5am to work out early enough
- Leave the house by 7am
- 1+ hour commute into work
- Start work at 8am
- Stay until 8pm
- Get on/in the car, train, bus for a 1+ hour commute home
- Late dinner around 9pm
- Veg out because you're exhausted and go to bed by 11pm
Here's an example day at RemoteStartup:
- Rise at 7am to work out
- Make breakfast at 8am
- Standup at 8:30 while eating breakfast
- Work until 5pm
- Spend some family time and eat dinner until 8pm
- Work another 2 hours before bed around 10pm
The work life balance in scenario #2 is far and away more desirable to most people.
