If I were at your position, I would stick to the job.

"Tips on finding startup ideas " 🤧

Stealthy bragging... you wont quit.. probably never will.

How are you 5 years away from financial freedom? How are you defining it?

My Honest take on your query @SameChange9 . 1. Check YC Startup School for basic groundwork on finding ideas 2. Work on your startup alongside your day job coz financial freedom is an issue. If you get a residency program like Antler etc. Then you re good to leave the day job. 3. Startups can be exciting in terms of solving the problem but slogging it to make mainstream is very lonely and tiresome . If financial burden isnt there, this is the right time to get into startup !!!

Yo could you share what ur role was after the MBA, I'm planning to do an MBA next year

Bro looks like you’re already part of the matrix. Would be difficult for you to jump. :)

Both of them parallely. If there are indications of startup surviving/doing good, then you know what to do.

Grass always looks greener on other side

Even Accel, Lightspeed also has some startup school type ptograms which are free and at-your-own-pace types

If you really want to do it, you do it. Else stop fooling around. It takes a lot to startup, including financial sacrifices. But life isn't only about money..don't live to regret a day when you say you could start up. 2 years gone in a startup even if it doesn't work out is an experience to be happy and proud about, never mind the money.

Left a similar job a few months back. Though I have been struggling to get started on my own start-up and thinking of getting back to work. The money coming in every month is super addictive and I'm missing it already even though I used to think I wouldn't care

Humblebrag.

If you are willing we can collaborate and do. I am looking for the investors to develop the job portal website along with iOS and Android apps. Thanks in advance

@SameChange9 what MBA did you do? 1 year or 2 year?

Be financially independent then startup.

Is the startup going public soon or do they plan to go public in the next 3-5 years? If yes, wait. Cash out, then go big with a cushion to land on, if things go awry

If you have 8 Crore+ networth, better start sooner. Also, if you can get a seed stage funding, even 4-5 Crore type enough. More important question do you have any idea you can’t wait to execute?

Thanks all for inputs. So it seems here is what I shld do: 1) find an idea 2) start small along with the job 3) take seed 4) jump ship Gonna be difficult with current job. But then nothing is easy.
