Anyone else recently moved from a big corporate to the world of entrepreneurship? Got any tips?

by•

I recently made the plunge and ditched my 9-5 consulting gig to pursue an entrepreneurial path. Would love to hear insights or any advice that you may have for someone making this transition. Any mistakes that I can avoid?

Congrats Aneesh, I made the same decision recently!

@ericka_gonzalez Thanks, Ericka! What did you used to do and what do you do now? How's the transition been for you?

@_aneeshgupta_ Left my Product Management job and now I do Pinterest strategy and management for bloggers and influencers as a subscription service. I'm also working on an app that provides science-based tools in habit formation & mindfulness (this one is the dream :)). How about you?

@ericka_gonzalez very cool! First time I'm hearing about Pinterest strategy as a job. I'd love to have a quick conversation with you to know what that entails and also explore if we can build a custom system for you to manage your work and processes?

I transitioned from corporate law to start-up six years ago. Best decision I've made. Embrace the uncertainty.

@thisismeihere How did you support yourself during the transition?

@thisismeihere That's so comforting to hear! It's a tough decision moving from a cushy 9-5 to a completely uncertain world. Got any nuggets of wisdom for me based on your 6 years of exp?
