As a serial founder/ employee number 2 or 3, I'm seriously addicted to early startup. Plus I'm older than most of y'all so the hiring thing is even harder.
What I did to remain viable in the periods between startups is, I got really good at a couple technical things that are in high demand and I consult, for small startups who just raised money and really need something to work. So far my eccentric history seems intriguing to my clients and not a red flag as it would be for Faang.
I suspect this strategy will continue to work as long as start-up capital is flooding the zone. Once there's a pullback, I'm likely to be in trouble.
So of course I'm raising money again for another startup. Wish me luck.
