Why one shouldn’t work outside there company?

I'm currently working on an FTE job - wherein the offer letter its mentioned "During the term of your employment with the Company, you may not engage in any employment or act in any way, which either conflicts with your duties and obligations to the Company, or is contrary to the policies or the interests of the Company." Now, I'm getting enough time and I want to consider working in a 0-1 startup, and the new company I'm joining will know about my current employer - The above mentioned is the only clause the current employer have regarding working in other company. Can the current employer legally put a case anytime in the future if they get to know this? - what are the loopholes I can use here? What position I can join in as (Consultant, Advisory role) - Still an early career professional in order to avoid conflict afterwards. Thank you for your help!!

I do freelancing/contract work while working full time in a company. Is it good idea to mention those works in LinkedIn profile, specially considering it may bring more freelance work if anyone sees it or not?

Jupiter, the planet, not the company xD Okay but seriously though, my friend who works at a startup, is also in a freelancing company (all remote). He asked me to contact my ex company for a possible referral....and that he's actively looking for a 3rd job. I mean work wise, I'm pretty sure he's using AI tools to work on 2 (now possibly 3) jobs. But won't companies find out, based on his form 16 (I'm kind of a newbie on taxation)? How do companies not realise this or is it that companies can't really find out (?) Explain in detail how to pull this off :3

If I work at Accenture, is it is possible for me to freelance for other clients?

Hi, I am currently working as an SDE in India. I want to start a small business (online consultancy) with a friend which will require some legal stuff like GST and partnership firm/company registration in India. For the initial days of the business, we will be working full time as well and will work on our business in our free time. If this scales well, we'll probably leave our jobs and work on the business full time. Now, I have a few questions regarding this - is it a case of moonlighting? - What will happen if my employer gets to know this in the future? - What are the legal implications in India for this? - What are the workarounds for this? I've seen many people selling some courses or having a restaurant or some small business along with full time employment. How do they manage to do so?

Is working on your own startup while in MNC a moonlight case, will it lead to serious blow from your company. Wanted to know the opinion what happens when your manager finds out that you also run a startup. What are the possibile things you can do to avoid this ? Any recommendations by anyone . Or any things to be aware of ?

1. Over estimating the efforts 2. Office gossips 3. Moon lighting 4. Unrealistic Salary demands 5. Completely under-utilised but still complaining of overwork.

Hi all, I recently received an offer from a startup. They have included esops in that but the strike price will be the current price. Is that a common practice? I though the esops granted have a strike price of 0 or very close to that. If i take them at current price then I only make money from the next upwards valuation only. Need your advice Viners!
