Step 0:
Stop aiming for 10k, aim for enough to live (for now).
Then decide between option1 or 2.
Option 1:
Start by taking a "random IT integrator/service job" to keep your flat and food on the table, stop even thinking about building and "vibing" something.
Just take a job, large "consulting" companies are easy to join as entry-level and will give you enough to survive, but far from your 10k dream.
Stabilise your finances, take time to refine your ideas and plan the next step without the stress to not knowing if you will be homeless or hungry next month.
Option 2:
Play the local lottery and tomorrow, GOTO option 1
- b_mutea 8mo agoThanks, that is exactly what I have been doing, I'm trying to get some jobs relentlessly right now just to get some traction. I think it just that one stressfull thought of homelessness that it eating me up.
- dzonga 8mo agolet's be honest option 1: is non-viable in this economy - those places are not hiring & most places are not hiring. only viable option in an economy that's not hiring is to hire yourself - but don't swing for the fences - just small scale stuff e.g 250 people paying you $40/month
- dzonga 8mo agothis means getting into non sexy things - i.e ecosystem e.g PHP / Wordpress / Shopify etc not as sexy as ML etc that HN raves about but you will survive
