@donkulator If you have tons of money saved up, yeah go all in. Just saying the safest option. With the later, you just need to be optimal with your time.
Working for a big corp, is already a half-assed job if you are not managing people, so there is that.
You survive as well as you have a fallback if your startup doesn't take off yet. -
@jestdotty Can relate. Never mention about your other work to anyone. Have it never traced back to you.
Once you think it's ready, simple take a work break to make it look like you did it in your free time lol.
Is it really that hard? Plenty of choices to go about it.
If I were an employee again, I would do a short stint in a startup to learn the ropes of a business, and then work in a big company, because big companies are effing slow. ie job is secure compared to the risk in Startups.
Use that sweet ass time, to create a secret github account to do your side project, while dragging your actual work like for days. xD
And be an average or slightly above employee for them to retain you but don't go above and beyond to get more work and fake praises and a measly bonus, or other employees to envy you. There is simply no incentive in most cases. "We are a big family" is not a great reason.
But lastly never lose sight of your original goal. It is easy to slack off and become one of them dunce.
