Compete while you build your career. You can start competing. It's something you are good at and understand well. Set up voicemail and advertise online. Rent space on a flexible basis from a repair shop or two that aren't at full capacity (ie have an empty bay for 8 hours at a stretch) to keep your fixed costs low. Rent space in an out of the way place to keep costs low and offer pick up and drop off service. Work when you need to, and hire and train competent employees. Take away their business a little market share at a time. Then when your career takes off, sell your business (and your current/ their former customers) back to them. Or if your career doesn't take off, merge with them and "take over" all operations with the idea you will lower costs and increase margins, but automate and manage most of the operations by removing their software and office personnel and hiring an "external" company (also owned by you) to do it. Then sell their shop and rent back the space in blocks of time. In reality, this is a poison pill. You will own these as a separate entity. It will remove their core competencies and property ownership while eliminating their ability to force you out later and resume business. If they try, they lose all of their technical personnel and expertise and you who keep it all together. Since your technical company isn't limited to your former employer as the only customer, use their expertise and core competencies to create a new duplicate business entity and start to franchise it. Sell franchises to directly compete against your previous employer. Profit.
