  • Has anyone here recently quit their job and become self employed? Any regrets?

    "Recent" I guess, it was March of this year. And no, no regrets. I'm lucky that I have enough savings to allow me to travel around, but I understand that that's a privileged position. However, being able to dedicate myself fully to my business has been invaluable and development has increased 100 fold, easily.

    Yes, recently, but no on regrets. For me, I set clear timelines / milestones, set up some consulting contracts, and mulled on it for a long time before taking the jump, which was helpful structure since leaving a job leaves you with a lot of ambiguity. I wouldn't call this a regret, but in hindsight, I would do more to expand my community with other founders and self-employed folks in advance. I'm doing that now, which is great, but at first it can feel isolating.
