I've been looking since the end of October, since getting laid off. Had quite a lot of interviews, passed the majority of technicals given, etc, but did not receive any offers. At the end of January I said fuck it and am now in the process of building the foundation for my small business. The job hunting process is incredibly disheartening and stressful, and I'd rather put that energy to use rather than waste.

- ipnon 6y agoI've come to the same conclusion, that it's easier and more profitable to create and sell your own application than to do the hiring song and dance, especially in the long term.
- weird-eye-issue 6y agoGood luck if you think it is easier! By the way, have you created a profitable business before?
- ipnon 6y agoI have never made a profitable startup before, wish me luck.
- weird-eye-issue 6y agoI know, because if you had, you wouldn't have said it was easier than a stable job. Good luck becoming profitable before you run out of cash. And if you think getting a job is hard, wait till you try to raise money when you do run out of cash!
- mbrodersen 6y agoNot at all. Making a profitable business is super hard and you need a lot of luck. I have done it and it is hard work.
