I currently do both.

I have a small SaaS that I work on one day a week.

The last 4 days I work a job.

The SaaS pays by far the highest hourly and feeds my hunger to create.

The job gives me fulfilment socially and makes me feel part of something.

It feels like I should double down on one. But I really enjoy both, so why?

This is what I’m feeling as well. The job handles some needs, and the pure drive to create is best handled in self owned work, but it does depend entirely on the actual circumstances in both cases.

You ideally want a good rewarding job with an owned project you’re passionate about.
