So what's next?

It's now over 3 months since I joined a job. Phew, it does sound good.

Everyday we listen to people complaining about their job. Most times it is true. Doing the same thing everyday over and over again gets boring after a while. The remedy is to do different stuff each day.

My experience with Drishti Soft has been good till now. Yes ofcourse I am working much more than what most people are doing right now... sometimes doubting if the remuneration makes justice or not.... But when I think about it, I realize that I knew this would happen. When I ditched a job in a good MNC and decided to join a startup, I knew what I was getting into. The point is I chose it for myself.

Working in Drishti has not been boring at all. You have the freedom to experiment, you keep doing new work each day. But even then there are times you are made to do something which you dont want to do. Or sometimes listen to people who want to do something in a way that you do not approve of. And then you think, what am I doing? This was not what I had in mind.

And then comes the next question, ok, I have been doing a job which I am, at the least, doing well. What next? In the second month, going to office not knowing which new project you would work on was exciting. But human beings want more. Everything becomes passe. And then you start thinking, can I do this forever? And what's the next step?

Personally, I am kind of an impatient person. I want to see beyond today. I want to know where am I heading to. For that matter, any person would or, in my opinion, should. This sort of baffles me... really, what next? Answering that question is not an easy thing to do. You may just say... quit, do something you want... go start something on your own. The thought does seem rosy. The problem is not that you dont want to or you dont have that risk taking ability. The problem is  "where do I start? What do I do?" This is the question that has been eating my for the past few weeks.

And thus I have been thinking "What's next?" I wonder if this is the way all entrepreneurs start. Sometimes, I think they do...
