If you've made good money and already have a "nest egg", what would make you quit your job and go to a startup?

If you had $250k + tucked away in a savings account and were offered a technical cofounder position at a pre-seed startup...
What would make you quit your current job and go work at the startup?
What wouldn't make you leave?

Probably a few months in sf.
I care a lot more about the services around me than the size of my house. But spend a while as a high performer in tech, and you can afford even a nice house in a HCOLA - and buy a vacation house somewhere cheap on the side if you want, though I prefer vacations in new places.
Provided that I had a good chunk saved away, it would take a really interesting and impactful problem, a decent ongoing salary plus equity, and decent hours.
