How can I ask my current employer to keep me as a part time employee? I really like the job and it's an incredible learning experience. I'm 25 years old and have been employed their for about 8 months. I've learned a ton in my time working there and I know I have years before I would cap out on the potential knowledge and technical available.

The reason I am looking to move to part time at my current job is because I am a co-owner of a company that I have been contributing to in my spare time. I'm young and I think it's a great time to take the risk and jump into this opportunity. This new company is in good enough shape where I can be compensated at or above my current salary.

What would be the best steps to take in order to keep my current job as a part time worker?
