Try the co-founder journey, if it does not work you still have the stable employee solution.

@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.
"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.
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.
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.
@karenwhitewings thanks for sharing your thoughts! What is your preferation?)
@serhii_uspenskyi before starting my journey. I had some part time but Full time I never needed to come to an employee role.
Quite a tricky questions. I guess it all come down to the state of your mental-health as an employee, which comes down to this question: does your job allow you to learn a lot, or earn a lot? If none of these, it's probably time to change.
Want to earn more? Find another job as an employee.
Want to learn more? Take the entrepreneurial path, as a founder or co-founder.
I had a stable and well paid software engineer job for a French startup. But felt unhappy, something was missing. I quit after 6 months and booked a 1-way ticket to Asia to start my journey as an `IndieHacker`, with almost no money aside, few months ago.
I'm now in Bali, living in hostels for $5/night, working from places with rice field views and swimming pools, amongst a population of entrepreneurs and digital nomads, I've not much money (yet 😇) but damn, never learn that much: working on my own products and meeting interesting people.
Bottom line, follow your gut, and go for what seems to be the best journey for your mind. ✌️
@shabnam_katoch thanks for the reply) Why do you think so?) E.g. I`m working mostly as an employee with only some % of co-founder path) How about your feelings on your job?
I’d get experience in the field for certain years, then founders journey all the way. Teaches you to enjoy life as well
One of both, Or both in one - the the steady risk-taker who always plays with house money!
Let’s be real, there’s probably an AI platform already in existence that can function as the stable employee in most professions🤔
Start as an employee, build a skill, find a problem, and solve it in the wild.
