Startups offer a lot of non-financial benefits over working at the big established companies.
1) Looser culture. Less likely to have a dress code or an attendance policy.
2) Less meetings, more coding. For someone that wants to get stuff done, way more to do in a startup.
3) Sense of purpose. A huge part of life satisfaction is doing something that actually matters. WAY easier to do this when you are shipping a product to actual customers vs sitting between 6 layers of management at google writing code to improve ad conversion by 0.1%
