Yeah I would look at building your own product on the side, the best gig you can get as a developer is to be able to quit your day job to take the helm of a product you successfully bootstrapped yourself.

This is not necessarily the best approach in this case, because taking the helm means doing a lot of management work and almost no coding.

I think most developers become developers for the creativity of creating a product.

In reality most of that fun part is the the product manager role.
