My personal advice where I am 2/2 in being successful in this method: find business you actually believe in but has 0 technical staff. Start at bottom in general operations. Soak up everything from day 1 with the intention to build their IT on your own terms, not someone elses.

Nah. Unless I get a real fat equity and a nice paycheck. Most of such business offer neither, and in this case I prefer to build something of my own

An approach from a place of greed, nice. Good luck!

Not, it's an approach from reality. I'm not going to slave away for an idea without getting rewarded for it. I'm not 21 years old to waste my life. I have a family and financial obligations to take care of.
If you want me to risk my future by taking an unpaid job, I want a big enough equity package. I'm not stupid to follow the "American dream" anymore.
