family pressure
i honestly only been looking for a job because my family is pressuring me to. I like creating. I have had succesful apps and i want to run my own startup but thw presure is so much and now i am just confused and dont feel like i am going towards my goals i feel lost my head is just spinning. i got a job offer today and all i can think of is rejecting it and go off the grid and come back with one of my successful product i have been trying to build. thanks for listening blind.
The experience I've gained has allowed me to build much more complex projects than before
Yeah, you can gain useful experience and money, and a network. So, go there, do it, and quit with a plan.
If you want open a restaurant, the best way is to start with dishwasher! In the long run, it would be good if you know the nuances of the industry! Get a job and be creative on the side! You have 40 hours of job per week, rest of the hours are all yours!
Find/Choose experienced, nice person (two to three steps ahead of you, 6-8 yoe) who will guide you personally through such thoughts and can talk with. It will help you grow. When you recognize it’s time. Gracefully switch to making decisions completely independently.
If you have enough money to support yourself without their help then do it. If you don't, get a job. Welcome to adulting
Will it be your first software job? I’d recommend taking the job and getting experience. Just because you have a job doesn’t mean you cant work on your app ideas in your off time. Also, the experience you gain will help you write better code, and thus better apps.
Yes it’s my first software job. So far everyone I consulted said the same thing. Thanks
