Went to work for a large company, shepherded them into the world of .NET and then in 2004 went crazy and joined a pre-IPO for salary and a percentage. A year and a half later there was neither IPO nor stock nor salary, so I swallowed my pride and begged me for my old job back. I made me crawl a little bit, but I finally relented and rehired myself at 75% of what I had been paying me.
