Ask HN: Selling the developed software after quitting from the company
Hello Guys,
Need advice from the community.
While working for a company A, I have solely developed a product and they have started to use it. Now I have quit from company A, but they need my knowledge and support to maintain the software. Should I re-develop the product as a cloud-based service for recurring payment or just provide support and charge per hour? Whats your suggestions guys?
- tokenizer 14y agoI personally think that if you have the leverage you say you do in this situation, is to do what you say (develop the service) using different code of course, and then sell yourself to them as a consultant for at least triple the amount they had you on for beforehand.
- senthadev 14y agoYes, this is what I was thinking. thanks.
- Hawkee 14y agoReally depends on the contract you signed with them and the license agreement. If they own the product then you might be entering shaky ground re-developing it.
