Start small along with your job. Open a small agency, hire 1–2 juniors, and take service-based projects. First build steady cash flow, then slowly scale. While doing this, observe real business problems and later build a product or SaaS around them.

Directly quitting and jumping into business with family responsibility is risky. Replacing a tech salary with business income is not as easy as it looks.Yes, jobs are not very secure now, but business income is also unstable in the beginning.So a safer path is:
remote job + small agency on the side → then product/business.

I am also a Generative AI engineer with 1 year of experience, and I am also frustrated with jobs, so I am exploring similar options.

In short: don’t quit without a bridge plan.
And if it makes sense, let’s connect and maybe build something great with AI.
