    👋🏼 A failed founder here, who won’t be a suitable fit to join the workforce ever, ironically.

    Making sure not to fail is more crucial now than ever. Because going back isn’t an option. But really though, not succeeding as a founder is a painful process.

    Right there with ya. I've been programming for 30+ years and feel completely unemployable. I had a friend who warned me once, "don't leave the system" (meaning to not got independent). I left the system.

    @kavyaaatripathi thank you again, definitely there are ways to prove.. But not before I give my all to create THAT product and build it with the right team.

    @normanpace I really wanna know, why you won’t be a suitable fit to join the workforce again? I feel you’ll have more experience after this.

    @kavyaaatripathi Same thought at first too but that’s before doing some interviews. Bcuz now I’m perceived as too independent, resistant to structured environments, overqualified for specialized roles, and the concerns about long term commitment.

    @normanpace Highlight how your independence drives initiative and problem-solving.Reframe being overqualified as a strength that enhances your contributions, and express your commitment to the team's success. And moreover be confident. I wish you all the Luck :)
