I didn’t come up with this but a surprising amount of people don’t know about it, so I’m sharing again. Have a gap in your resume? Want a gap for personal reasons? Make a startup! 1. Start an LLC (very cheap) 2. Come up with some BS mission statement, spend a week throwing together a website with ambitious promises. 3. Step away for 6-9 months and do whatever you want. The LCC will come up as legit for any work history searches and the website will sell the whole package. When it comes up during interviews just chalk it up to running out of funding and you weren’t able to get it off the ground, 100% of engineers and PM’s will respect it and even be jealous. You can dodge showing code and the actual product by saying it’s still wrapped up in NDA’s and other agreements your seed funders made you sign. Have a few BS stories ready to go for behavioral questions and you’re golden! Good luck, take a break
simple 1 step plan 1. i took a sabbatical
Doesn’t work, some people will not respect.
If there's no news article for seed funding for your startup I guess no one even cares and consider it as a side project gig at max.
Seed funding can be ~$200k. It’s just meant to be enough for 1-4 engineers to get through a year, no news article required. Obviously some are in the millions, but that’s not the standard
You mean an LLC?
Yes
Did you just leave my team OP? This really good dev I respect a lot just left my team. I checked his LinkedIn and it’s some random startup I’ve never heard of lol. All the best to you if it’s you
You’ve seen people pull this off successfullly?
Step 1. Don’t be on a visa Step 2. Get permanent residency Step 3. Resign your job Step 4. This post
Turns out being born in the nation that everyone wants to be in is pretty good ✌🏻
:) 👍🏼 good job in attracting top talent across the World
what’s an LCC
Limited liability company. It’s basically a skeleton of a company that provides some legal protections they cost like $50
Leet code corpse
