In the same boat, I left 2 months ago to bootstrap my own startup. I'd recommend getting a shared co-working space. It'll give you home/work separation and you'll get to meet others who are in a similar situation and you can bounce ideas off or just socialize. Of course, keeping up with friends, ex-coworkers and getting lunch/coffee every once in a while is nice too. Good luck!

eh, theoretically yes, but over the pandemic and post its been clear that co-working spaces are just filled with transient people checking out that area for a few weeks, and nobody there knows anybody, there is no bar group for a happy hour in that area, and no natural reason to approach anyone.

personally been doing better in hotel lobbies and their bars. overlaps with the same crowd, more natural openers.

Thank you! Good luck as well. I'd love to learn what you're working on if you are open to sharing.
