Do you think long years in a job change a person’s mindset? Regular salary builds comfort and lowers risk-taking. When someone starts a business, uncertainty feels heavy and relationships also change. Job thinking is about safety; business thinking is about growth and loss. My friend quit after 1.5 years, but fear of loss made him return to a job. Is it more about mindset or situation?

Well yeah. Spend 10+ years getting a direct deposit every two weeks and of course you're going to be uncomfortable about the prospect of it disappearing. That's not a mindset problem, that's just math. Bills don't pause because you're finding your passion. No judgment to your friend, there's a reason I'm still clocking 40 hours a week, mundane as it is. I don't have an entrepreneurial bone in my body.

Yeah thats sad reality of 9 to 5 person

I think it takes a certain kind of personality to go off on your own and start a business. It also requires a safety net that a lot of people don't have. There are so many things to consider: taxes, insurance, spending several years without any stable income. Most people can't handle that.

Yeah for business you need very strong mindset

Not just the mindset, but where someone is at in their life will make a big impact too. If someone has to support a family, it’s a lot harder to not have the safety of a predictable paycheck

Totally agree with you thanks for sharing your experience

It’s both mindset and situation. The idea of not having a consistent paycheck is also unsettling if you’re so used to it.

Totally agree with you

I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
