Try the co-founder journey, if it does not work you still have the stable employee solution.
ioni
@mho22 sure) what about your way?
Yannick
@serhii_uspenskyi I'm on the co-founder journey since 2017. What I know is that if the journey ends, I will probably have some hard learned interesting skills to show to employers.
ioni
@mho22 wow) cool! Thanks for the insights)

"No risks, is No way to live". I'd say taking calculated risks and enjoying life is better, than to be in the safest of places and regret every step of the way. So Co-Founder for me!

For founders, It's about proper risk management. Successful start founders are actually not blindly take risks but instead good at manage risks.

It all comes down to personal choice. While the founder journey is exciting and full of ups and downs, it is perfectly alright for someone to do a stable job and live peacefully.
ioni
@therahulv of course) what do you prefer?
Rahul
@serhii_uspenskyi right now I’m doing both.
ioni
@therahulv oh, interesting) good luck with it!

The concept of a “Stable Employee” can be illusory, even in traditional roles, there are inherent risks beyond one’s control. Uncertainties like economic shifts, corporate decisions, changes in job market, etc. can disrupt your stability. Also, there is the risk of becoming too comfortable and complacent hindering your personal growth and adaptability to new challenges. Both options, come with inherent risks. The choice between the two paths depends on personal preferences, goals, and risk tolerance. In my case, after working several years as both an employee and a freelancer, I made the choice to embark on the path of a co-founder.

@antonio_sucre nice story! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreicated)

Both options have advantages and disadvantages. Stable employment brings safety and dependable money, but perhaps less exhilaration. Dangerous co-founder? The upside could be enormous—financial freedom and a product that changes the world—but it's also stressful and fraught with uncertainty.
