Hi, I'm at a pretty big crossroad in my life.
First some background:
I'm almost 23 years old, I have around 8k usd in my bank and I have plenty of software development experience.
I finally finished the long mandatory millitary service we have here in Israel and am now a free citizen considering my next move.
My options are:
1. Go work full time as a software developer for around 65k usd a year after taxes (Israeli taxes are painful), with potential for more if I work my a$$ off.
2. Start my own business.
I thought about going with 1 for a year or two to save up some money to fuel a business, but the mere thought of being a keyboard slave for more than a year makes me feel ill.
Going with 2 won't be too bad as my country has a very big startup community with pretty generous funders that I can reach using my networks, but I'd be pretty short on personal cash.
Is there anything I'm not considering that could make this decision easier?
What would you guys do?
