One way to make the transition easier- get a job offer from a tech firm out here. Then if you're still unsure about moving out here to start a company, you can use that as a stepping stone to make the transition more comfortable.
If you can't manage to get a single job offer, I wouldn't recommend moving out here to start a company on your own. The bar is much, much, higher for starting a company than getting a job as a developer.
- freework 14y agoI've been trying to get a job offer for a company in SV for the past 5 months and no luck so far. Do you have any tips for getting a job in SV when you don't already live there (but are willing to relocate)? I've done a dozen or so interviews, and even been flown out a few times, but have never been offered a position. For reference, I have 5 years experience doing python, and I even run my own "startup" as a solopreneur (quotation marks because I'm not doing this project for the money and cost == profit)
- sjg007 14y agoFigure out why you aren't passing the interviews. Learn Java as well.
- diminium 14y agoHow do you deal with these "one year non compete agreements" or "every idea you think while working for us belongs to us" contracts that quite a lot of firms make you sign to work for them? I kind of want a start a company with my own ideas, not one I gave to a company and have to steal back from them.
