Founders, were you able to find a job since covid began?
It's more difficult finding a job as a founder I've realised
-
If your venture is still continuing, they don't trust that you'll work enough at the job.
-
If your venture is shut, extra questions and judgement as to how and why it happened.
-
If your venture is successful and profitable, they'll ask why you want a job if it's going so well.
I've never received any preference because of being a founder. On the contrary it's made getting good jobs more difficult.
Thankfully I've managed my earnings through my startup, but I feel stuck because I'm not earning as much as I want to, plus I can't work on new things anymore. I would have liked to work on other things but it doesn't seem like I'll be able to get a chance to do that anymore.
