I'm in a bit of a dilemna and would love to hear from anyone that's done this. I'm in the UK for refernece. I did a full time CTO role for a startup that had a modest exit from 2015-2020 (grew to 50 ppl and millions in revenue) and since then have worked as consulting and fractional CTO at a few startups. I've been good at working on building products and teams from scratch and I really do enjoy it. I've also been working on building a bunch of products in the days where I'm not consulting (mostly in the crypto space, I know: boo!). You can see my history at: https://linkedin.com/in/krishan711I'm at a stage now where I'm wondering if it's worth it and wether I should just join a big co to get a big paycheck and get back into the grind of being a FTE. I'd love to hear from people that have done this as almost all the people I know who have been through my path are still there and working on their companies.
Advice on how to make the transition and if there is anything I should be particularly looking for / avoiding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
