Well, if you keep your job and try to build something on the side at the same time, it doesn't really work IMO. I notice that either: the "side business" doesn't really progress anywhere because of lack of time, or you get a burnout from overworking yourself with basically two full-time jobs. If your main job is a small part time, it might be the exception. Please also keep in mind that your thoughts will be occupied by two jobs, which also a psychological burden. So while it would be nice to develop something on the side while keeping the safety of your main job, in practice it IMHO does not really work out.
