I did start my own business! Man I’m worth much more than in companies, plus I’m having fun creating software, and I now understand all the incentives around my work instead of having to play politics, which, as a computer guy, is much more comfortable.
HOWEVER, many who have tried to launch products have not met success. But I was happy to try and fail too.
- p0nce 4y agoI did start my own business, 8 years later I earn 2x what I was paid (not FAANG level by any means mind you), work perhaps 3x less, the work is a lot more enjoyable. I was a SE. You need to provision enough time (years) to hit market-fit, and plan for errors being made along the way.
