Stay at FB or leave for a year and work on my own startups

Sep 12, 2020 10 Comments

I have some side projects I made in college that make 1.5k a month passively. It’s not much but combined with my FB savings I can prob live on my own for a year.

I’m thinking to leave FB and work on my own projects for a year.

FB takes 80-100 hrs a week from me. It’s common to see 3 am code pushes on weekends and a team member got congratulated for grinding thru Labor Day weekend to push out changes.

I don’t mind working 100 hour weeks, especially since I’m a new grad, but I’d rather do it on my projects rather than FB.

Has anyone quit like this and how was the transition for you?
