What I did was start small and learn the skills and grow my income from my "hobby bUsiness" until it became equal income to my day job.
At that stage you will need to decide which way you're going to go. Stay safe or go with your passion.
Also read up on all the other parts of running a business such as accounting etc, there are lots of good links on HN about this kind of stuff, It's invaluable.
- kls 15y agoI would second this, start a niche interest in a hobby or passion of yours. Try to grow it to create a phased transition out of your current situation. Having a secondary interest can also help avoid burn out, which you may be experiencing the first phases of. If you have hardware and embedded experience you have an advantage. Most developers are pure software technologist. There is a lot of money out there looking for hardware/software innovations. Embedded can be lucrative as a side venture.
