Try the co-founder journey, if it does not work you still have the stable employee solution.
sure) what about your way?
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.
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!
cool) thanks for sharing)
For founders, It's about proper risk management. Successful start founders are actually not blindly take risks but instead good at manage risks.
yeah, that’s true. What do path will you prefer?)
No doubt I am a 3 times founder.
awesome) thanks for sharing:)
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.
of course) what do you prefer?
right now I’m doing both.
oh, interesting) good luck with it!
No risk, no fun! :)
More risk, more reward, def co-founder
thanks for reply) are you co-founder yourself?)
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.
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.
thanks for sharing your thoughts! What is your preferation?)
Risky solo journey.
I'm co-founder with half stake so it's do and die for both
great! Have u ever tried yourself as an employee?)
before starting my journey. I had some part time but Full time I never needed to come to an employee role.
great) thanks for sharing your experience!
