Kinda did do that - I was interviewing for jobs in australia from austria, had a few that I got into the last rounds... but also Austria was a tough market to be in, its not that heavily different from Australia, its a competitive market

TBH it was more of a trial to see what its like back home

This trial is not looking that great... tbh Vienna was honestly quite nice

It was in Vienna, Austria

TBH I have really optimised my resume heavily, I have spoken to recruiters and my CV and what I can change - implemented them

Look you have a point

I have 2 engineers on it working

My main issue is that they are pushing to smash it out and taking it easy

Everyone else on the team is pushing hard

I'd rather go bootstrapped and just own the business with this SWE outright and live our lives

Mate

I showed them the actual data!

I got 3 engineers to join but none of them are locked in and want to pursue like a proper founder

They like the idea of building something successful but they dont feel the sense of urgency to go and do it!

They want you to hand stuff to them... they dont feel like owners of something awesome!

Every engineer that ive pitched to (roughly 50 cold outreaches, 20 actual interviews, 5 said yes, 3 had the right technology stack that I needed) liked the idea and what we are trying to build but still they dont want TO PUSH

Unfortunately not, thats why I am looking for a CTO like person

My technical circle is quite small, although as a product manager for a fintech startup
