It depends on your risk-taking ability. If you dont have any responsibilities and have some money to shell out and try. Its a good bet, given that you know minimum people management skills. Or else it will become a solopreneur.

Believing and leaving out that you have a product idea which you can make and sell.

I consider startups relatively risky in comparison to big tech. But, it does have potential to create impact with code and there's a small chance the ESOPs make real money.
So, 20s imo could be about working for promising startups which tick the following boxes-

It has good or no managers
It has better engineers than you, so that you learn from them as well
It has the potential to make money
You don't have any dependency on family and you are okay with sacrificing a bit more of your life aspect to work in it
You embrace uncertainty and it's fun
You wanna learn lot of things in short amount of time

Just like you guys, I too got 1 life so I can only share my experience as someone who never joined big companies. From working as an intern to working as an FTE, I always worked at Startups.

Startups mein you get to work on those things on which you're good/expert at. Plus, you got to learn more like in my case I worked on Android and also developed iOS apps which I had no idea about.

In big companies you get to work on those stuff which you might have idea about but less or no hands on. If you get lucky, you get to work on what you already know.

That's my take on this. I'm a newbie in my tech journey :)
