Some companies have moonlighting clauses and some companies allow you to work on your own side business. It just depends on the policy.
You might be totally prohibited from starting your own company. You might have signed a contract stating you employer owns all the work you do even outside of work hours. You might be allowed to create your own company as long as it's not competing with your employer or they might require you to disclose it to them.
Point being, look at your contracts. If you have an employer that would be a problem, quit that job. You're going to need to quit at least one of those jobs to have time to start your own company.
As an aside, don't work 80 hours a week forever. It's not healthy. Don't forget to enjoy your life.
- hashxyz 5y agoMost of my employment agreements have signed away all work I do all the time. I am in CA so this is apparently unenforceable, but not a good situation to be in. If I had known before I would have asked for adjusted contracts that weren't so strict about what I do in my free time, but I didn't know the minefield I was getting into. Probably I can work to replace the current positions with new ones that are more lenient about this. And about the long work hours, I'm doing it right now because I am young, and if compound interest works out, it will give me a lot of financial security to do things starting a company. That is, if this thing doesn't backfire.
