Ask HN: Should i quit my lucrative job to work on my startup idea?

I work in a hot startup in SF with >150k salary and >1.5M in stock options at current valuation. I have an idea which i'm yet to implement and work it out. I have heard from my friends if you have to work on your idea you have to quit.

Should i quit my job and start working on my idea?

I have a great salary at the age of 23 and if my idea fails i'm losing a good job with >150k salary and 1.5M in stock options which might go 5X according to my calculations.

What should i do?
