26M living in western europe. I got around 75k euro saved up and earn approx 110-115k euro doing analytics in big tech.

I am getting comfortable in my work and not growing much. I am really interested in saving up 200k by 29-30 and taking a shot at creating my own startup. Worst case scenario I will learn a lot and may come back as analytics lead in whatever company with some managerial/entrepreneurial experience. Maybe this would even help me to come back straight into analytics manager role.

My logic is that I would have enough cash saved up not to worry, would have enough real life experience to navigate uncertainty, still young enough to work long hours and take risks, but old enough to be able to jump back into career if i fail.

Am i wrong thinking this is generally best timing career-wise to take a shot?

    For me, it was when I could absolutely no longer stand working at any job, even my very well paid job, anymore.

    there is never going to be a “right” time. Take a chance, attack the problem and throw everything you have at this venture. Its going to be very hard and its not gonna be smooth sailing. U will have to live very frugally to make it.
