So here I am, where some of you have been before. And a bit nervous of course.

I quit my job just over a week ago and my last day is this Friday. Of course I got the usual "so, are you going to work for NVIDIA?" but no, I'm not going to work for anyone but my future customers. Leaving to work "for myself"

I've been at my current employer for a little over 9 years and my desire to work there was much less than my desire to not. But it's a big change and I have no idea if I'll succeed with the project I'm developing. If I didn't take the chance now however, it's unlikely I'd have as decent an opportunity in the future (or the relative freedom anyway).

Any generic words of advice?

Enjoy some time off!

I'm thrilled for you, Bruno. I hope your new endeavor, whatever it is, will be enriching and rewarding.

Just words of encouragement. Your new project sounds great, and I admire you for taking the risk and deciding to go with something that you enjoy doing. The best of luck to you.

Bruno, congrats. So wait... did I miss another post? What are you planning to do? Consult?

Thanks guys. I'm definitely not looking forward to the paperwork. I'm actually hiring someone (contract basis) starting in a few weeks (to program, not do paperwork...) And have plans for full time hire(s) with standard payroll pay and benefits starting next spring. So that's even more paperwork.

I'm sure I'll be posting asking for a lot more specific advice in the future - on all sorts of topics.
