Definitely the business. why will someone even want to choose the steady monthly salary? Don’t be deceived by the steadiness of the salary because even if it’s stable, it is equally stagnant; you may never earn more than what you’re being paid but guess what? The owner of the company makes more and more money even if yours is fixed yet stable. Instead of this, start working on your own idea/business. If the people who built these big companies today never took a step forwards, they would have been nothing more than employees who are being paid a steady monthly salary.
It's important to keep in mind that we are all different. For me having a steady monthly income (salary) gives you financial stability by ensuring a reliable stream of money for everyday expenses, saving for the future and dealing with unexpected costs. This brings peace of mind, making it easier to plan for the long term and lessening the impact of financial uncertainties. Unless your business is built to always profit.
At first Op used his finances made through his stable income to trade in bitcoin. Which yielded him some profits, and his next possible idea was to leave the civil services work. Would he have made it to the trading level, if he didn't earn stable income? Many people have been deceived by such discussions and dropped their good-paying jobs to start a business. Later they'll end up being unemployed and won't earn anything. Moving from living large to not living at all. Hence, everyone should stick to a plan they'll be able to complete from start to finish. And not make decisions because they're being paid lesser in their place of work, compared to earnings from their side hustle. Most times after the funds increase the person's expenses skyrocket too, he'd purchase things he never would have if paid the normal salary, leaving him with no savings. It's all good to have a high income, but the plan must be calculated. The disadvantage of losing one job for another is losing both.
Successful businessmen still undergo losses and can also go bankrupt and rely on loans to survive. Money management is the key to a good living. Provided the employee earns a decent salary like OP said, moving out of the work, isn't worth the stress. Unless the working environment is not conducive, the person is also advised to stay clear or resign, if they've got a side hustle. Factors that affect employees to leave a company may include; bad management, inadequate relationship with staff, low salary, and unstable salary rate. Employees in such a company with one or two of the above disputes can move away and start up a life outside the company or build a business. But, tagging crypto trading as a reason to quit a job, is a red-flagged decision, the person may end up regretting in the nearest months ahead. Practicing crypto trading won't affect Op's working hours in the office. I'd prefer he does the same job and keeps on trading, instead of leaving his job to focus on trading as a profession. Considering the risks, he'll claim to be vast, but it's not worth resigning.
