These slides talk about the problem that most young entrepreneurs face when they set about to set their own company: Is ditching the job they have at hand worth the risk they'd be taking? These slides talk about this from both the sides of the table. More info can be had from: http://www.utthishta.com/blog/

1. Quitting your job v/s Starting
your own company

2. • Ever wanted to think beyond the dull grey
cubicle you sit around all day pounding on
your computer, busting your ass off to meet
deadlines, fretting about the kind of life you
lead having killed all your interests.
• All for the big fat pay check you receive
promptly on the first day of every month.
• Well, if its money that drives you, propels your
life forward, you’re doing it right, mate.

3. • But, if you’re the other type, the one who
measures the quality of life not just by the
material comforts but pays heed to the inner
voice, gives personal interests their due and
still knows what job satisfaction means.
• These slides don’t endorse ditching your job
but tell you how pursuing your interests could
help you in the long run.

4. • The Startup boom that started in the Silicon
Valley sometime in the 80s has got the Indians
thinking as well, ‘Why can’t I start my own
company?’
• The number of Entrepreneurs is quite on the
rise with a number of funding groups that
offer flexible pay back options coming to the
fore.
• Now, for the Million Dollar question: ‘Is
ditching my job worth the risk I’d be taking?’

5. • The answer to this question depends solely on
the amount of self-motivation you have. On
how passionate you are about becoming an
Entrepreneur.
• Not on the kind of job you’re holding. Not on
the number of bucks you make.
• But you’ll to have to weigh your odds cleverly
before you make the big leap and start your
own company.

6. • For one, you wouldn’t be making the same
amount of money that you were earlier. Statistics
say that it usually takes 3 to 4 years for your
startup to give substantial returns on your
investment.
• Two, there is the stereotype Indian society trying
to pull you down and turn skeptic towards your
decision. It’s encouraging if you have broad
minded parents who are willing to help you. But
the Indian society is never going to change. Screw
them. If you find your inner self telling you you’re
doing it right, then go ahead.

7. • Three, your office hours are not going to be
fixed and Weekends could turn out to be the
same as Weekdays, but since you’re doing
something you love, every day’s a holiday for
you.
• Four, girls might not go crazy over you. You
don’t earn big bucks. You’re not a part of a big
corporate. But, once again, you’re in a
relationship with something you love. No big
deal, then.

8. • Five, your value might go down in the
marriage market. It’s Indian society you’re
dealing with, right. Don’t worry, once your
company turns into a Google, you’ll show
them what you’re worth.
Lastly, if you have an entrepreneurial spirit in
you, sooner or later, you’d end up being one.
Might as well do it now when you are in your
prime than when you grow older turning into a
skeptic doubting every other move you take in
your life.
