Founder paradox

Job Seeking :job:

Hey folks,

after graduating two years ago, i decided not to join any job, because startups is the only thing i wanted to do but even after two years of trying different ideas/products i'm still in the struggling phase of it. where i constantly need to worry about next month room rent. but honestly i love this journey.

Tried, tested and learnt many things but on paper there isn't much to show about what i've achieved in this two year time except for a SaaS which has done a total revenue of nearly 1,000 dollors. It's still live but I created it for fun and don't find it interesting enough to put more time on.

from last one month i've been working on a product, built an mvp and now actively reaching out to investors for seed round. we all know how much tiring and brutal fundraising really is. it can take months for what you thought to be a two week process. Things look on right path and i'm confident that i'll be able to raise.

But the thing i'm not confident about is from where i'll manage October expenses. I have an option to join a onsite jobs here in bangalore. but onsite barely leaves you with enough time to focus on the startup. instead i'm looking for remote. just to cover my basic expenses around 20k/month. I'm desperately in need of it. if you can help, please do. Thank you so much :)
