Entrepreneur Vs Employee, What would you choose and why?

I have the best day job anyone could find. I get paid well doing fun projects. BUT. I feel unfulfilling. I think I could do better. I think I could make more money using my time than this. I used to have side projects that watching its active user grew everyday brought me a lot more joy than this.

But how? I'm so pathetic.

I'd choose entrepreneur immediately again when the chance arises. Altough, for several reasons already in the comments, I am currently "just" an intrapreneur ^^ in a large company.

I've always had both. As an intra-preneur within the companies I work for but also a side hustle.

No question - entrepreneurship!!

Being an entrepreneur when things done well and the right way and with some luck you will have no limitations to what you can achieve. On the other hand being an employee with all the above you still have way much less chance to achieve limitless achievements. There are exceptions to each direction though!

As someone who has done both, I think both have their merits and are great for totally different reasons. I did 2 years of W-2 after 10 years of founder life. It was fantastic for me. Wrote about it here: https://medium.com/@brandonblee/...

Be a builder or a creator with any given title.

The right answer is: It depends I would say it depends on you and what you want and what success means to you.

Both have pros and cons and also de country influences a lot.

i would choose yo be entrepreneur, it's more fun and challenging, but then it would depend on my life situation if I need more stability then employee would be the better choice

Being an Entrepreneur is a state of mind. I think that every one should have that mindset no matter if she/he is working for someone else or not. The problem is that our society educate people to become employees of the system. To do what they are asked to do, rather than work with purpose. Even leaders see Employees as property rather than partners/collaborators. That way of thinking is what is wrong.

There is a Jewish saying that a good job is a trap.

Despite the challenges, entrepreneur all day.

Entrepreneurship because I love to explore different part of the work. This role allows me to wear multiple hats at the same time. It excites me.

The choice between being an entrepreneur and an employee depends on various factors, including an individual's personality, skills, financial situation, and long-term goals. Apart from the role I currently play, I lean towards entrepreneurship as entrepreneurs have the potential for high rewards, including financial success, creative fulfillment, and a sense of pride in building something from scratch.

iv been an 'entrepreneur' so long now i dont think id make a good employee anymore

I am sure you can create amazing things and have a freedom of choice with a good team and be an employee.

I'd go with entrepreneur, but only after having experience working as an employee. That way I'd be able to bring a unique perspective and valuable skills to my business ventures, having experienced the inner workings of different industries and companies. Being an entrepreneur allows for greater creativity, flexibility, and the potential for unlimited growth and success. However, it also involves taking on a significant amount of risk and responsibility. I believe that a balance of both experiences, as an employee and as an entrepreneur, can lead to a well-rounded and successful career.
