I’ve been moonlighting since covid.

Was working at a startup, its shutting down and in the meanwhile I am building something on the side. To fund the startup I need cash and some specialised resources. Hence freelancing and working three extra Jobs 1 freelance 1 full time pays half of my last full-time job Another freelance project What are your thoughts, some of the work I have outsourced to a reliable dev. I know this sounds crazy to some would you do this?

Looking forward to some nice stories from the community. Some positive, some not so positive - what made you take a pay cut?

Note - Not working for competitor company In this situation where a employer can hire and fire anyone anytime, why “moonlighting” or working part time, having a business, doing something of your own should be problem? If a employer can dump their employees anytime then they have to look for themselves, they have life, expenses, dependencies. This is a high time companies change their points on this in appointment letters and contracts. What do you guys think?

I've resigned and our co-founder gave me an offer, where I'll be officially released but I have to work after office hours & will get paid accordingly (for temporary period) I'm sorta inclined towards the offer, I'll get some extra money + the work load isn't much, I can do it along with my day job. Now what are the factors I should take care of while finalizing this decision? How to make sure my bgc remains clean or something? How the payment will happen? Ofc they will propose me something, but I wanna be prepared from my side as well. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any input, about anything I've written or about moonlighting in general. PS: I'm also okay declining the offer, except the fact the company will suffer, which I don't want to (as we are very small team), and I genuinely want it to be successful.

I work at a startup. And It’s super funny but I think my boss is moonlighting. Here are the facts: - he’s hardly focused - he’s hardly trying to expand her role at work - he’s regularly on external calls taken secretly - he doesn’t care to understand what’s going on in other parts of our company

I have worked 2 companies during covid due to financial constraints and am sure about that not worked for additional income...now I couldn't get job due to pf history.plz suggest

I am not the kind of person that is going to sit idle or while away my weekend hours. I am hungry, hungry for work hungry for growth and hungry to hustle. The problem is that apart from hunger I have no vision / set path on what I want to do. I have dabbled around with various things, but have realised that I'd rather join someone else in their vision rather than set out on my own. Unfortunately due to financial condition of family I cannot leave my day job. So at least until I have the confidence that I'm doing well on the side hustle thing, I cannot afford to quit my main job. I have full WFH so moonlighting is not really an issue for me. So folks, does anyone have anything for me? I'm a web developer and can quickly learn and adapt to various technologies and tech stacks.

In the current scenario, I can't rely on only one source of income. Can you give me some tips on how to get a moonlight job and how to handle the work at both places and how to hide the info of my moonlight job. Also if your are an ex-/moonlighter then do share your own experience.

Wanted to know what all extra source of income you have apart from your Startup salary. Don't include bonus/dividend/esop pay. Pays from activities like influencer, rental(via property u invested into), blogging, dropshipping, websites, affiliates, consulting gigs etc. I will go first. I don't have any at present, but planning to reach upto 80k inr/month via website partnerships in B2B niche domain.
