It seems like I cant find any part-time jobs that are relevant to my career, which is biz dev / customer success / sales startup roles. It seems to be theres only full-time roles, however I cant really afford to have a full-time job and work on my startup too since I wont have time for both.<p>Any suggestions?
Can you consult? So, rather than have a part time job, actually go out and find a few clients?<p>Not sure where you are located, but in the USA this is possible.<p>An alternative would be to get a full time job, but make sure there is a carve out for work you do on your own that is unrelated to the job, and work nights/weekends.<p>Final alternative is to work full time and just save save save, then quit and work while living on savings.<p>Not sure of your financial situation and obligations, so hard to recommend any of these above the others.
It is hard to find part time sales/biz dev roles from larger companies. By the time they are looking to hire, they are looking for a full time person because they have a (mostly) full time need. Especially if there is commission involved, then it just continues to feed into the more, more, more...<p>Source: Before moving into consulting, I ran sales teams.<p>I would imagine that Customer Success would be easier to find on a less than full-time basis.<p>Consulting as Mooreds pointed out could be a good solution.
Could you consult or do paid work for clients within the realm of what your start-up is going to be doing?
