I'm working a 9 to 5 job at the moment as a software developer and an engineer, and I just feel as if I need a change and that the 9 to 5 job is not leading anywhere. I am making reasonably good money but I am not really getting anything from it other than that.
I'm working in an industry where I see lots of potential for "Artificial Intelligence" and digitization solutions. I've got a couple of ideas that need executing.
However, I have some really nice things changing in my life: We are getting a child, which means I might not be able to afford any risks?
The question that I am facing is the following: Since I am planning a B2B solution that is rather complex and requires a strong partnership with established industry proven companies, it is very difficult to gain these partnerships during my 9 to 5 job. In addition to that my company would be in competition with my current company (which makes it difficult to incorporate during my 9 to 5 job). Without a registered company, no potential customer will talk to me, which means no sales! I could build a product next to my 9 to 5, but this still doesn't solve the "getting a customer" issue.
In my current situation I cannot afford to quit my 9 to 5, because my savings are limited and I cannot afford any negative cash flow.
I have a pretty long period of notice of 6 months, which doesnt make things easier in getting out.
I have quite a lot of experience in my particular industry, would one solution be to do some customized programming jobs and build my company at the same time?
I would be very grateful to have a discussion about my issues.
Sometimes it just helps to get some ideas from other people.
Thanks
