Freelance work apart alongwith full tume job

Don't tell me the Upwork or Fiverr because they are more crowded or tell me any other platform or any resource where you get good results for finding the freelancing projects.

Hello, I started working as SDE at a regular tech firm a few months back. Prior to that I wanted to get into freelancing, even did a few projects. In the offer letter it's clearly stated that "shouldn't have any other interest in business" and talking around looks like they probably don't want us to have any other sources of income. I feel confident in few skills that I can more on side, (not greedy need more financial stability) My Questions [1] Freelance platforms (fiver, upwork, etc) ask for pan, is it okay if I give my friends/family pan ? [2] Should I register for a LLP on their name, use that pan everywhere and run the business myself ? [3] Is it good idea to run it under an alias ? Any advice / insight / experience would be highly appreciated 🙏

Hi members, Need your help in understanding future risk if I sign contract offer letter for a second job. I am full time working presently but due to sudden financial crisis caused by a business loss of my father I want to support him with extra income from secondary job, I gave and cleared interview for US client . The company is new setup and I thought I was offered a freelance role but now the company has shared a offer letter and the owner said he is ok with me submitting PAN Card of my wife/mother for salary to be credited . There is no PF account setup involved and has assured me there would be no conflict with my first job. He is asking to sign offer letter and come into employment with him as he wants to start his company as a full fledged org starting with hiring freelancers. Is it advisable to go ahead or is there risk of first job org coming to track it or the owner can blackmail me if he turns out to be fraud. I know ethically wrong and this is my first time trying second job due to circumstances. Please advise how to safeguard myself.

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!!

Any thoughts on career transition from full time at big companies to freelancer? I have 5.7 years of exp of FSE. and would like to settle as freelancer in near future. I want to experiment this option for 1 year and if not succeeded is it okay to switch back to full time emp? Is it worth taking the risk considering my financial status? I see these are pros and cons Pros: Complete wfh. Direct contact with clients no boss/manager Cons: Income will be effected if no project. Continuous search for projects. Risky. Any other pros and cons one can think of pls mention in the comments. I would definitely try this option for atleast one year.

I know that at my firm you cannot freelance for your competitor. But not sure if it's allowed for others. Should I ask the HR/Mgr or do it silently on the sides? I'm pretty bored doing the same stuff. So thinking of doing some freelancing. Also, I have never freelanced before. How do I find who wants to hire a freelancer? Are there specific points I should know about that will help in my search? Google is full of generic s@#t advice. So asking here.

Hey folks, wanted to understand a couple of things from experienced folks here - 1. What does freelance consulting look like? 2. How to start working in freelance consulting(shadowing/independent projects for free/volunteering etc.)? 3. Are there any hard barriers to entry(YoE, MBA, T1 grad for example)? 4. What platforms should one use to obtain projects that pay decently well - 2-3 hours daily leading to ~30k earnings monthly? If this is an unrealistic expectation, how does the payscale build over time? 5. Any other insights/comments that would affect the decision to work on freelance consulting. Thanks in advance!

What all should I know before getting into this? Someone has approached me for part time work for them. - should I and the person sign a contract? If yes, who prepares the contract and what should be it's contents? - should any specific clauses be defined? - should I take up upfront fees? - how to handle them validating work is done or not? - should I not keep it hourly? Should I define the fees based on the work done?
