Hi Makers, I've become really interested recently in what makes someone leave a job to pursue a career as a maker. I used to be an Archaeologist (its an unusual change I know). I want to know your stories. What jobs did you give up to pursue your dream? What job are you planning to leave once your Unicorn takes off? Why?
Full disclosure : my team and I are building an application which will have Stories of/by founders, a Game in which you can play the founder of a startup and run it from idea to IPO, a Chat-bot to interact with, where gurus will suggest learning content curated/created by founders (which helped them understand a certain concept for eg. Negotiation) So I'm taking in more feedback to make final changes to it before going live in various phases starting November. Do let me know your thoughts on the same and thankyou.
This sounds silly but when I launched my first startup 5 years ago, we didn't put in a vesting schedule Wanted to see what others have done but also things we know to avoid in the future!
