Hey all! I have a person who pinged me on LinkedIn and says he has a freelance opportunity for about 800 to 900 usd a month. I asked him how much time I need to spend per week etc and he gave clear answers. Seems fair and I am ok with working more in the beginning of that gives me a second source of income.

The only thing is, he only pays monthly and if he is a scammer, I would have worked for a month for free. Anyway to verify his offer's legitimacy? How do you guys handle such things if you have freelanced before?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

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.

Is it safe to sign offer letter?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Is it ethical or common for early stage startups to not pay salary (for a few months) before they close their first round of funding? 
A friend of mine was shortlisted by the founder of such a startup, with the catch being the condition stated above.

No salary for the first few months

Program Manager

My friend just landed a job at a well-known MNC. However, the recruiter is requesting payment for their efforts in securing the position for my friend. How can we handle this situation tactfully?

Recruiter asking for money

As Software Engineers, it might be bit difficult starting out with first freelance gig or contract job.

I was able to secure one in college with about 50k/month for about 4months working as a back end engineer for an Indian SaaS company and international client.

Great learning and great pay for a newbie.

Also if you have a full time job and freelance gig. how do you juggle between both? Keeping in mind you also need to take personal time and time for fitness.

First freelance or contract gig?

How to receive foreign payment of freelance

Hey folks,
I want to dip my hand in freelancing.
My job is quite laid back and i have a lot of free time.

I have been grinding leetcode in my free time but I'm bored of it. So, I decided why not use this to expand my real working knowledge and earn some side income too.

Any experienced freelance person, please guide on how to start and where to. I know it takes a serious hustle to break the first client. But starting itself seems daunting to me.

Thanks for your time

I was asked to work part time for hourly basis on some work. What all should I be careful of?

Question to guys who are working part time for a startup Or foreign client along with a regular job.. How do you manage payments and hide your side-gig from your primary employer? 

Can you take payments in your own account or in account of someone else? 

How do you ensure your employer don't find out.. Perhaps use a different laptop .

Folks doing part-time moonlighting with a regular job, how do you manage payments?

Data engineer

I want to take up another job with the current one. How do I do it? Shall I just start applying to other companies? How will I provide relieving letter?

Want to do Moonlighting

Hi, I need some help from the finance experts.. I have been doing freelancing for a few months. Until now I was doing it on upwork and other freelancing sites and the amount was also lower (<1lac). Recently I was working with a client outside of the freelancing sites. The client will be paying me in dollars. For transferring the payment he said he will only do via wire transfer.  Now my question is which is the best way to reduce the taxes which I have to pay to the government. The amount will be >10lac. I am already earning more than 10lpa from my job so if I get that money in my account I'll have to pay more tax. On the other hand my parents earnings are not coming under the income tax slab. Should I directly transfer the amount in my account or to my parents account or should I create a msme and register it under GST? 

TIA 🙏

I saw opening in linkedin, emailed the Hr. They called and said they have a opening for an unpaid internship. They said they will give assignment, and i have to pay 1000 as certification fee, and they they will refer me for paying jobs.

New sort of scam?

Hi! I just finished my second year at a tier-1 college. I’ve been looking for internships to do this summer, and a startup offered me a backend role of 10k pm stipend that required 8 hours a day commitment. I’d have to travel to their 2-3 times a week to their office that’s 7-8 kms away.

I know a decent amount of web dev, have built a MERN clone of Reddit, and I’m pretty good at algorithms. 

Upon asking one of my mentors about this, he that the guy who’s offering me this role is simply ripping me off. I just wanted a second opinion on this. 

Am I being underpaid?

Can my employer find out if I started freelancing in upwork?

Upwork asks for pan details. So by any chance my employer can find out from the income tax portal or something?
