I don't know it's so black and white. You can be an early employee at a startup taking on significant risk. Finding a company that fits your cause can be difficult, but not impossible.

I say find what makes you happy. Find people you love to work with. The rest will take care of itself. Titles aren't important.

It isn't about the title. I am not trying to advocate being a founder, but being an early employee is not the same.
I am trying to develop a discussion to understand why people choose one or the other. Actually I learned a lot from the answers so far.
