A side project is exactly that. It isn't about making a full-time commitment.
A startup would normally be associated with full-time commitment (especially tech startups).
I would rank the main difference on the time commitment.
- jaegerpicker 13y agoYes and no, I have a regular full time job and then a startup that I work on in off hours. I put in full time hours but it's not my full time job. I still consider it to be a startup.
- phantom_oracle 13y agoI suppose each case can be as unique as yours, generally though, people put in less than the 40 hours (or more) their job takes for side projects. I've also seen a lot of people carry multiple side projects too (kind of reminds me of a pool of assets).
- amjd 13y agoAssuming I'm ready to commit to it (nearly) full time, what factors would I look for before deciding it's safe to jump ship (from my current job or whatever)?
