Hey, I have been in similar situation. I took a full-time consulting job but couldn't let go of my ambitions. The first thing I did is started writing about my experience and why certain things did not happen the way I expected. On the side, I also started studying what made other products succeed . I would suggest making a list of questions or template to ask yourself for any problem you decide to solve. Find out what you can do (given your constraints) and what you can't. For example, I prefer apps that don't require full-time support. Being in Non-US timezone, it will be hard to provide support. I documented my questions here: https://amols.blog/product-led-growth/17-questions-to-ask-before-you-startup https://amols.blog/product-led-growth/17-questions-to-ask-be... These apply to side project as well. Do add your own or create a similar doc to guide you further. Good luck!
