My startup trail started the day I decided to take the summer off from living in NYC, and go to South America for the summer ( Peru ) to learn to surf while working all day on my MVP.
That was 2006. I never looked back.
Once you get used to doing things your way.. it's very hard to go back.
Let go of the golden handcuffs, put on your adventure hat, and consider finding a low-cost city/country to play in while you figure out product-market-fit[1]. If you are lucky you will also find other potential co-founders also on the same journey, and other talented local folk who are affordable. Who knows you may even learn a new language along the way! Worst case you go back to doing what you've been doing. It's not going anywhere soon in this climate.
