Ask HN: Should I find a job or try to build a profitable project?
7 by driven20 | 5 comments on Hacker News. A little about me. I'm close to 30. I recently left my job, I was burnt out. I want to take 1-2 months for myself to reflect and figure out my next steps. I'm a software developer and I have been working with various small to medium software companies for the past 4-5 years. I currently live in a small city in the south (gf and I want to move to NYC or another big city). I can build CRUD apps from the ground up. I have around $60,000 saved and with my current bills, I have a runway of 1.5-2 years. My life goal is to build a successful business and entrepreneurship has been something I have always been interested in. However, I have never successfully built anything that gained traction, so I consider myself more of a wantrepreneur. Options: #1 Spend my time studying and finding a new job in NYC. I'm pretty confident that if I spend my time on leetCode and networking I will land a good job. I feel like this is the safe route. #2 Spend my time pursuing a couple ideas I have. It's nothing new or innovating, a productivity app and a yelp like service working with small businesses. Reading all the content here is super motivating and inspiring, I feel like I could make these ideas work, but it's also super risky. I don't want to spend 1-2 years working on these ideas only to look up and realized I wasted my time and money. #3 Some combination of both? I was thinking that I can pursue my side projects and look for a new job at the same time. However, I feel like having a clear focus on one thing is important.
I am stressed out about interviews
2 by intv_stress | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have an interview at facebook and google coming up. I have about 7+ years of experience. I have been doing leetcode and studying for last month. I have tried to motivate myself, I have been reasonably diligent in studying, but when I read through these forums it seems like people treat these interviews as FT jobs. I want to do that to, but I lack the motivation because I don't think I can compete. I feel I am hard worker, but apparently not compared to other folks. The only way to really compete is to put in as much work as these people. I got like a 100 in my algo classes, but they can ask the gambit of questions. They can ask anything from heaps to recursion to dfs to red black trees to I don't know what. I graduated top 10% from one the 10 best CS schools in country. I don't think I am dumb, but I feel I am just not as sharp as I was when I was younger. I feel like not going because its just stressing me out. Heck I didn't even apply for these jobs. Sure I would love the money and having google or fb on your resume looks nice, but its not helping my mental state. I really got to respect people who work at Google or FB for going through the tests. Are there really that many people who are so good at algo that they can come up with o(log n) o(1) solution to a problem in 30min? I am guessing they are recruiting a million people so they have get 1% to pass through their tests, but is the stress really worth it?
