Founders, were you able to find a job since covid began?

It's more difficult finding a job as a founder I've realised

  1. If your venture is still continuing, they don't trust that you'll work enough at the job.

  2. If your venture is shut, extra questions and judgement as to how and why it happened.

  3. 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.
