It's easy to solve that problem, work from home. I work 10-12 hours most days but I see my daughter all the time because I work from home and we get to eat three meals together and play after dinner.
- joezydeco 16y agoI do the kitchen-table-coding-marathon as well, but how do you get any consulting work if the only time you're available is 8pm-2am? Rentacoder?
- javery 16y agoNever ever Rentacoder. Most people don't care that much at what time you work on something if you can show you deliver on time and make yourself available for the occasional call during the day. People worry about moonlighting when you have a full-time job but if you are running a startup they usually understand you can make time for them when you need it.
- AmberShah 16y agoI don't think "easy" is the word that describes doing this, but it certainly can be done. I work full time and do my startup on the site. I work from home once or twice a week also and that definitely saves on commuting time, and I go see my kid once a week for swim class/lunch (in addition to after work, of course). Sure, it takes a zillion times longer to do your startup this way, but then again, it helps you focus on what's really important (both in life, and in your startup)
