After I quit my last job, I ended up starting my own thing - wasn't ready to go through the hassle of interviewing again.
- furk 2y agoHow’s that going? Do you see yourself going back to a 9-5 job in near future?
- a_t48 2y agoGetting to choose what I work on is great. Chasing down VC leads is not so great but I’m growing into it. I’m not sure what I’ll do if I run out of savings and support - I suppose I’ll look for a job with enough flexibility to let me keep building part time. Maybe contract work.
- kapitanjakc 2y agoThat's great, how's that working out ? Is it more or less the same ? Or are there major differences ?
- a_t48 2y agoIt’s very different. Love not having to deal with others’ stresses, hate that I internalize a bunch more stress of my own instead
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoThis is the way. Software devs can make so much money and have so much more control over their lives, instead of grinding FAANG.
- nopelynopington 2y agoIt doesn't always work out like that. A lot of people out there who take a run at doing their own thing and can't make it profitable. It's fun to reduce a job to "the grind" but sometimes dependable income and benefits are better than freedom and risk
- rndaom 2y agoGood luck! what did you do? Consulting or your own product/startup?
