Stable employee or risky co-founder journey?

I'm co-founder with half stake so it's do and die for both

Obviously, risky co-founder

I prefer calculated risk. What about you @serhii_uspenskyi ?

Quite a tricky questions. I guess it all come down to the state of your mental-health as an employee, which comes down to this question: does your job allow you to learn a lot, or earn a lot? If none of these, it's probably time to change. Want to earn more? Find another job as an employee. Want to learn more? Take the entrepreneurial path, as a founder or co-founder. I had a stable and well paid software engineer job for a French startup. But felt unhappy, something was missing. I quit after 6 months and booked a 1-way ticket to Asia to start my journey as an `IndieHacker`, with almost no money aside, few months ago. I'm now in Bali, living in hostels for $5/night, working from places with rice field views and swimming pools, amongst a population of entrepreneurs and digital nomads, I've not much money (yet 😇) but damn, never learn that much: working on my own products and meeting interesting people. Bottom line, follow your gut, and go for what seems to be the best journey for your mind. ✌️

Ha ha, I think we all have chosen the risky path already!! 🙌

I’d get experience in the field for certain years, then founders journey all the way. Teaches you to enjoy life as well

One of both, Or both in one - the the steady risk-taker who always plays with house money! Let’s be real, there’s probably an AI platform already in existence that can function as the stable employee in most professions🤔

Start as an employee, build a skill, find a problem, and solve it in the wild.

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all. If I can look back on my life and see I did everything I could, it will be a good life.
