Comment on Ask HN: How hard is it to find a job after trying to start your own thing

Comments

At the risk of being out of topic, there is a more complete way to think about it. What do you think will be the most painful in the long term: having tried, failed, and suffer the consequences, or having renounced, and regret it for the rest of your life? That second part can be awefuly costly for you own wellbeing.

I'm self employed for 10 years now (one startup, one limited company, then freelance - if that's sounds like a failure it's because it is a bit). 10 years ago i realized I couldn't live with the regret of staying employed. It did not turned out as I wanted to, but I'm better off as things are now that if I hadn't tried (in terms of mental health).
