If you're doing work-for-hire, the company implicitly owns whatever it is you achieve and was paid for. If you want to own it, start your own company!

True.

Founding a company is the only way to shape your own success.

Though you're more likely to shape your own failure. Let's be real.

That's not to say don't try, but be aware of the full picture.
