It really depends on what you want to do next. I found myself in a similar stop about a year ago and I came to the realization that I wanted out of the startup frenzy, and thus I started looking for companies that where 1. established/biggish/profitable, 2. that seem to have an idea of what they actually wanted/needed from a developer, that is, I wouldn't be thrown to solve product or design stuff, and 3. that seemed to have a sensible leadership that was aware that things took time and "crunch time" was not the norm (read, boring, predictable work). Through a series of coincidences I did find such a company and it's been a blast! I still have energy to work on side projects (after being bitten by the entrepreneurial bug is hard to go back), but now I'm not constantly sweating about a limited runway (if something doesn't happen in X time we run out of money... that really keeps you up at night!) Bus I guess the bottom line is, figure out what you'd want to do first and then find something that aligns with that. As an entrepreneur you often have quite a bit of marketable skills, leadership, product, customer support, software engineering, devops... usually you can find companies that want exactly that, a tech handy man, and how the job market is right now, those skills are in high demand! (heck, my company is hiring! email on profile) Good luck on you next chapter! |
