If you are willing to dream and then work hard and execute well, you can achieve more than you ever imagined.

There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there's lots of talent in search of meaningful work.

In talking to founder after founder; I've heard almost visceral reactions to working for companies, even very cool ones with great things to work on and lots of opportunity, like Facebook, Google, or consulting firms.
