Sounds like you should be a founder. I found myself in a similar position a couple of years back, and yes becoming a founder did make me more happy and fulfille

  The current company I am at now has been having revenue issues, so I started lining up meetings with executives. The CEO seemed happy with it, but today I ended up missed a rough timeline, and the CTO came down on me. ( operationally not important code ) I know I could bunker in and get the code done quick, but I feel like the company is now just trying to leverage my connections long enough to make a sale or a pivot and not reward me for it anyways. I am just sick of being an employee. I guess if my luck was better earlier on, or if i was a better sales closer maybe one of the startups i was working on would still be here. On the upside i have meet so many great people while working at all of these companies. If i could figure out how to raise money this time i bet i could build a kick ass team and product. I have a product and a pitch, but i don't know anyone who can afford to quite their job right now to be a co-founder. Can you pitch alone. Otherwise I need to keep working on it on the side.
