It really depend on who you are. My journey as a company founder has been difficult, but I have been able to work with clients to provide services they value and make things work. In contrast as an employee there was constant, ruthless competition, layoffs or culling pretty much every year, and I frequently felt curb stomped by coworkers and sometimes entire teams. If you are socially competent then a day job is very likely going to be easier, but if you are autistic or otherwise challenged in this very competitive environment then running a business yourself may be the only way to rise above the fray.
