> I imagine it is a tiny fraction of the people getting laid off that go that route - imo, most are out applying for jobs. Speaking for myself; I'm doing both. I applied for a job, and I am also working on my own company on the side. I have some run way, and could have gone all in on my company, but this is a terrible time to be seeking investment as a founder, and it probably will get worse. What I like: job stability, and having "free"[1] time to work on slow-growth projects. I fully expect things to get worse before they get better, so the route to profitability for ambitious new startups may be tricky. 1. It's amazing how much additional time you get back when you switch from a high-pressure FAANG job to something more normal |
