Sorry to hear. Everybody probably goes through that and to be honest: the first 5+ or so years out of Uni may be really non-inspirational... 8 months at 25 GBP isn’t the world. The stress, anxiety and frustration searching for jobs (Brexit, anyone? CoVid anyone?) is magnitudes bigger... In the first couple of years, learn what you are good at, what you hate and what people pay good money for. But that implies you will have many “not very inspirational moments”... Keep things in perspective but keep a job that pays your bills: if you work 40h per week you can still work 40-60h on stuff you love. If you are good you can squeeze 80-120h/week of actual value add out of it (assuming you get things done more effectively than other entrepreneurs that surf tech crunch a lot). Don’t limit yourself to the notion that you can’t build great things on the side. Worked for me many years and paid off nicely.
