side hustle that brings in revenue while working inside Big Tech

by Larry Chiang on December 2, 2019

By Larry Chiang
Yes, I used to work at a Fortune 100 company.

Pervasively an issue

Side hustling is such a common pattern, I made an #LABCS for it: “jobapreneur”

Live Action Business Case Study 3373, #LABCS3373 is “Jobapreneur.”

The biggest threat to “big tech” in 2020. 

Every single millennial friend I know I has a side hustle that brings in revenue that they’re trying to grow so that they can quit their “big tech” job. 

Every single friend.

Turn your offices into collaboration centers

I think the only way “big tech” can actively combat this is to enable a flexible work from home policy. 

Turn your offices into collaboration, innovation, and meeting centers instead of open desk wastelands.

searching for leadership positions at small/midsize startups

The other side of the coin is this: most of my friends that are in “big tech” are all actively searching for leadership positions at small/midsize startups.

And the last few bit of friends that are truly tired of it all have taken two paths:

VC or “sabbatical via moving to a cheap country for 6-12 months”

⁦‪@rashiq‬⁩ 99% of my tech friends live in NYC and SF. 

So there is an inherent advantage from their location. 

These are known startup centers. 

So the selection bias is mostly from that.
