  • Biggest career / life move, was it worth it?

    Roughly around this time last year, I took a leap of faith to join Rasayel (we launched today, would love feedback if you have it: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/rasayel) - a small team of about 10 people. I left a comfortable job at a series C start up to join a much smaller team, with much more risk. For me, it's undeniably been worth it. It's been hard, but it's allowed me to move countries, upskill faster than I ever have, and learn a ridiculous amount of new skills. But I won't say it hasn't been tough. Lots of late nights and stressful projects. But I have to say, wouldn't change it for the world.

    Quitting a career as a corporate lawyer to become a full-time founder. Best decision I ever made.

    Going full-time indie was a massive leap for me. Was it scary? Hell yeah. Was it worth it? Absolutely. It's been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, wins and fails, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

    It's a great tool, Jonny! I upvoted it! Great job! I used a similar tool in the past. It's worth it. I quit my job in corporate America and jumped into the world of entrepreneurship and startups. I get you, man. I know it's scary and uncertain, but it's also thrilling and rewarding. Not everyone is cut out for that kind of life, but some of us are, and that's okay. I would say that what you're doing is changing the world by building something that people need and love to use. Congrats and keep up the great work!
