When in Rome

Hey monkey’s
I’ve put in 200 plus applications over the last 2 months and over 500 over the last 6 months to multiple firms including RIA firms and small mom and pop shops.
I can’t seem to land a gig, so I’ve decided to try and start my own RIA and build experience through building a business. From the people I’ve been talking to I can start a firm for a little over $10,000. $20,000 gets your started fairly comfortably and you have multiple years of SAAS subscriptions and memberships, plus you can hire a 3rd party consultant to help you with ADV 1/2 filing and completion (hardest part). The series 65 is only $187 and the Kaplan study program was fine.
Has anyone tried building their own firm? How did it go?
Thanks for your time
