I'm currently working on software (a game) but I work in that very same industry. Like most in my industry we sign a PIIA agreement which essentially makes anything we create up for grabs by the company we're currently employed for. This prevents moonlighting and all that.
While this wasn't a problem many years in the past, it is now that I'm an entrepreneur. I spoke to multiple people in the company including legal and it's ok for me to create and sell anything on company time. It was relayed to me that the company doesn't care until I'm REALLY successful (millions). Then it's a different ball game. I could have a lawsuit on my hands. They could take everything. It's quite a powerful weapon by a corporation.
With that said, I thought I'd poke the Fastlane hivemind and see what you fine people think. Should I leave this company next year or should I keep stay employed and keep on developing and release my product? If I do this at the start of 2023 I'll have enough money to survive the year, form the company and keep developing for a release that year.
