Work on own startup vs switch to another startup

I've 3 yoe, currently working in a very small startup as full-stack dev. Company's revenue is declining from Q4 last year.

Every month layoffs are happening in each team. Last week, a dev was laid off from my team.

No hike till now, working here from last 1.5 years. Although, got performance bonus twice.

I want to work on a few ideas, tried to work on weekends but it led to burn out and started affecting my health, suffered from mental fatigue.

Please suggest.

Build your own if you’re confident and hire some people also. Get freelance projects . In the long run this is only sustainable way. Else you might end up working for someone who can let go of you anytime

If you have funds to survive for 6 months to 1 year, then look to build your own startup. Otherwise, work on your startup in parallel and then make it full-time.
