Maybe there should be another poll: 'What is your startup experience?' Work at one, have worked at one, Will start one soon, will start one in the distant future.....
Working (as an employee) at a company that was a startup in 2004. Selected "... but not at a startup" because it's pretty hard to call > 1000 employees and billions in investment a startup anymore :)
There is a big difference between working AT a startup (an employee) and working ON a startup (a founder), IMO. Any chance we can get an update to reflect that?
Anyways, I chose 'Working at a startup', though I'd like to someday work ON a startup (as well as become a student again and finish school).
Unemployed, Freelance, Hacking, and on a break from being a Student.
Don't do much work freelancing, just enough to pay for my essentials, and mainly spend my time hacking and working on my own small projects. My plans are to finish school next year, but that could change — we will see what the next year throws at me. :)

I'm running a company, but I still work days as a contractor to pay for it.

But then I discovered that this option was just added. Heh.
