So far I stayed away from both startups and consulting companies (Accenture, NTT Data and similar) and it went fairly well.
One day I'll reconsider this choice, probably when I'll have a bit more of financial stability (read: bought a house and paid it in full) and can afford some more risk.
Most people seems to overlook the fact that most startups die within a year, and some more startups drag a long death march before dieing.
You might have fun or do crazy interesting things, but if the company goes bust it might not be pretty.
For the moment, I'll stay conservative about this kind of things.
