Ask HN: Who here struck out on their own without a plan?
When I signed on with my current employer, I ensured that I wouldn't be prevented from working on something on the side. I made it clear during the interview process that my intention was not to be there forever. Recently, I submitted a disclosure regarding the side project and today it was just approved by the Legal and Compliance departments.
I've become disillusioned with my current work situation, which is better than most places, but still has the usual fundamental issues (project mismanagement) that won't be remedied in the next two to three years. I've let some contacts know that I'm looking for a change of scenery while I work towards a release, however based on some events today, I'm strongly considering giving my immediate notice. Tomorrow is Friday, so the opportunity is there.
Who here has done just that: Just up and quit, then didn't decide to take up another job? (I've done part A without part B before) If so, aside from the obvious need to immediately produce revenue, what did you take away from the experience?

Thanks in advance.
