> Startup founders are the happiest people in tech: They’re the only group growing more optimistic while consistently outranking everyone else in workplace well-being.
In other words, the happiest people are the ones with the most autonomy, building their own vision, with the most potential upside. This is not news to anyone.
Now if you took a survey of failed founders (which is most of them) and ask if they'd do it again and contrasted that demographic vs. 1st time founders vs. the masses of everyone else just doing their work for a corporation... I suspect you get some interesting/surprising results.
