Well if your skills and your job are considered static, yeah that’s equally risky. If you have the ability to keep learning and evolve with the job market, then no I think that’s still a much safer option. Or maybe it’s better to say that starting a successful company is extremely reliant on your ability to have insight into what need in the market isn’t being filled and how to monetize that need (or what needs can be created, if you’re extremely ambitious). If you can learn quickly, navigating “what skills will existing businesses pay a premium for” takes much less insight in comparison.
