Quitting Job for Startup

Keep your safety net but try to set clear boundaries and make room for side projects that could transition to a startup if one get enough traction. Don't jump on it until it's profitable if you can. Sometimes it's hard to find the time for everything, but just a little bit every week, week after week, is much better than nothing at all!

Sounds like you're ripe to work for or perhaps, found a startup. You don't have to quit your current job to start a startup on the side or hunt for a new job.

It sounds like you should get a job at the moment so you can build up your skills. Then you can quit and build your startup app much more quickly, and freelance on the side as necessary.

do you have an idea you could see yourself working on for 5-10 years? If so, quit your job and make the jump. You are going to be too burnt out from having a job and working your free hours towards building a start up on the side. Not having income will inherently drive you to work harder towards finding success quickly.If you don't have any ideas, would recommend finding some ideas you are passionate about first while keeping your day job

Maybe you should start out with part-time 'regular' work, and do your start-up stuff on the side, then as you make more money on the side you can build down your 'regular' work. That way you get to do it without taking the plunge in an all-or-nothing fashion.

Build it on the side (if your employment contract allows for it, by not claiming all IP you build belongs to your employer).It'll be slower, it'll take you nights and weekends, but in my book that beats the desperate hustle for cash you have when you've got 0 revenue.By building it as a side project you can pull the trigger once you get some traction.As a tech person, you probably hadn't had much experience with marketing, sales, business development, company paperwo

it is very unlikely that you will be able to successfully start something that is outside of your area of expertise and the opportunity cost of failure is quite high for you. Instead, I would recommend thinking about what tools and/or applications would help you a lot in what you are doing now and if you think you came up with a good idea, either try to mock it up yourself or look for a partner/co-founder who can create a working prototype for you, or just hire a contractor to do it. None of t

You could do that, but consider keeping the full-time job and instead spend your spare time getting the word out about your startup, meeting people, finding customers, etc. A year later you'll be in a better position to know what to build.

Honestly you should for sure get a job. You seem to be choosing startup ideas that people with jobs choose, use offshore labor from the start, rapid pivots into tools to pivot faster, udemy courses, these are all side projects. Nothing wrong with that, but do them at night and save up your cash for when you have a big idea that can’t be done that way.

I think you should quit your job. You won't be able to focus completely on your startup if you keep doing your job even if it's 50%. You can always go freelance when there is need.
