Many things you can do. Get into Angel investing, PWM. That’s all that comes to mind if you want to be a sole proprietor. Other than that you can run your own shop but you’re talking abt employees.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.

Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

Pls share your thoughts: currently mid 20s and working in a slow paced company w AMAZING WLB and low pay compared to tech companies but average pay in my current industry. Do you think it's worth moving to a tech company and get paid a lot more but not having as great of a WLB? I'm interviewing for diff companies (a few out of state) and would have to relocate if I receive the offer but some are fully remote positions. Is pay a good trade-off for WLB since I'm still early in my career?
