Is starting your own product also not an option? How long of a runway do you have if you were to quit immediately? Three months? Six months?
My experience is that most engineers with non-insignificant experience[1] can create an MVP in about three months.
[1] More specifically, have enough experience to estimate what can be done in two months (leaving a one month margin), and the pragmatism to ruthlessly cut scope until it fits into two months.
Thanks for the advice. I don't think I have the talent to start my own product. (Although I am well versed with most of the latest tech). I think I have a runaway of several years if I were to quit. That gives some comfort though.
