Many of the responses are about the relationship and how that turned out. Instead, the decision to join or not join that startup should come, assuming you both are strangers. Is the opportunity good, does it progress your career, pays you well, and is the equity fair?

Given the answer to that is yes, the job may or may not work out well, that risk remains the same. The decision to leave that startup again should not be based on friendship but on personal situations and aspirations.

I personally feel its better to be working with friends than with strangers. The hierarchy equation is simply a matter of circumstances.
