If you're an SWE thinking about quitting your job to build your startup, do not do it in this economy. I used to read posts like this and scoff at them, especially since I had already founded and sold a semi-successful startup. VCs are super selective towards anything non AI at the moment which results in very lowball offers, b2b isn't viable as it used to be because businesses don't have that kind of money anymore, many of which are even laying off their employees.
Anyways, I am back in the job market (due to some issues at home which have increased my financial needs). So if any of you are hiring. that'd be great

I had a sweet job at a NY based unicorn and I was among the highest paid junior sde's in my country. I have also founded and sold a venture in the past, did well at competitive programming and have also been selected for entrepreneur first's grad cohort. i have also been to the finals of prestigious international competitions. I quit my job thinking worst case scenario, I would just freelance till something works out, but alas, that market is flooded with laid-off swe's which are driving the prices to the bottom.
Tech stack: React, Typescript, Node.js, Next.js, Javascript
I would prefer to work with a startup but open to other options as well
