Yep, if you can ship every week we'll take you. Take a leave of absence at your job and see if you can build something amazing this summer.

- aarondf 14y agoI know this comment wasn't meant glibly, but "taking a leave of absence" isn't usually an option. FYI.
- railsjedi 14y agoReally? I've found companies usually prefer it over quitting. Financially it may not be an option though, that I can understand.
- david_shaw 14y agoNote: this comment is just about my experiences. I'm not trying to make a broad statement about all companies. I think it depends. A lot of organizations would rather terminate the employee and find a replacement than wait for their leave to end. Alternatively, many will replace the employee without terminating them; after their leave, they'll re-hire them if the position is open (aka they're hiring), otherwise let them go.
- aarondf 14y agoI can only speak to my industry (public accounting) in my location (Texas, US), but there are a line of qualified candidates ready to fill my seat should I choose to quit. Or should I choose to ask for a leave of absence.
- railsjedi 14y agoGood point. I'm fully immersed in the current bay area bubble so I sometimes lose perspective.
- eragnew 14y agoNice! I'll apply tonight, after I get home from work :)
