This is great advice - instead of looking for a regular-old job by pushing resumes, look around for an interesting startup that you would love to work at, and try and get in to them.
I actually never even considered going to work for a startup. I always wanted to start my own company, and knew that if that option ever closed, I'd just go work for Google or some other company. It wasn't until I started reading more about the startup world that I realized there are literally hundreds of companies I'd rather work for (not to knock Google of course, I just prefer smaller companies where I'd have more influence.)
