This works well assuming you're disciplined about it. When I graduated, I knew I wanted to start my own startup, but I planned on bootstrapping and needed money. I worked two years exactly, living cheaply and saving as much as I could.
My job was comfortable and I really loved it. It would have been very easy to stay. The advice to start "now" is really a reminder that if your answer is always "tomorrow," you'll never get started.
- karolist 16y agoSo.. I assume you did start a startup eventually? EDIT: nevermind, looks like you're co-founder with OP.
- nicholasjbs 16y agoYes. I quit my job last year to start up (and OP is my cofounder).
- nir 16y agoI'm not sure discipline has any place here at all. If there aren't 10 moments every day in your corporate job when you wish you were in a startup and could do things your way, then you probably wouldn't enjoy being in a startup anyway.
