I finally found a major who wants to buy my automated mudlogging system. It's not finished but they see the value on what I'm trying to do. It's been 5 long years and at this point I don't even fucking care anymore. I was 26 when I had the idea, it should've been quickly and aggressively executed then. But 2014-2017 was completely dead, then 2017-2018 I tried to finish it myself needing some expensive parts. I finally caved.
At this point I'd just be happy to get like 800k so I can go to eastern europe and smoke weed and party while I still look young and tell girls I'm 25.
There's no career anymore, several of the senior R&D guys I tried to sell my device to in 2015-2018, I checked their linkedin's and they've been layed off and they're only 45-55. These guys have publications, patents, and were perfect employees now they'll probably never get hired again as they're over-qualified to do anything else. If you follow the crowd You'll get fucked.
If you don't aggressively cash out and build a nest you're going to end up very fucked. Only fools think there's some job waiting for you because of your "skills" or whatever. I think the validates my strategy of cashing out instead of begging an employer for a job. Alot of these older guys got 15+ years with a company thinking their "skills" and "value" to their employer until they get layed off and noone will hire them anymore.
If you can own a new digital oilfield tech you will do very well, instead of being a sucker employee who gets paid salary to create it for your company. Lucky for me, noone wants to be a mudlogger I think that's why this niche went un-touched just for me
I personally think my device is worth about 10 million, but I've seen how brutal the economy is I think parachuting out with 500k - 1.5 million cash I'd be happy with the W.
I remember october 2014 everything seemed okay then BAM everyone's fucked so I'm not holding out lest something terrible happen.
