Looking for pointers on how to supplement my salary through short term projects or consultations.
I can easily spare 2-3 hours a week. In the past, I have taken up consulting calls via research and insights agencies to share insights on my area of expertise. But these calls are ad hoc and far in between and I want to regularize the cash flow.

Will appreciate the guidance.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I left a startup due to financial difficulties within the organization. Salaries were delayed for 3 months, however, the team and my previous employers have been very good to me throughout my time there, and it was solely due to the circumstances that I had to part ways. 

Now, the CEO has reached out to me, asking me to join as a part-time consultant on a case-by-case basis to help them resolve their issues, while I continue with my new job. This opportunity could provide me with additional income, but I have concerns about whether they will pay me for my consultations. 

Should I take the opportunity? How much should I ask for?

Appreciate your thoughts!

How can I increase my salary in consulting ?

Strategy Consulting

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!

Analyst

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 am currently working as  management consultant in HR domain with post MBA work ex of  2 years .

How can I leverage my current skills to generate secondary income .

Thanks

Is it worth taking up? Am I being low balled?

Background- Senior Associate, 5YOE

Consultancy Moonlighting

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

I’m a copywriter with 4 years of work experience with some fairly big brands. Revently a few people have been reaching out for copy projects. Some are willing to pay per project, and others look at a long term commitment. So far I’ve been letting them tell me what they are willing to pau and if it seems okay to me I take it up. I want to ask if there’s a better way to work around this? How do I know what’s a fair compensation to write a video script? And what do I quote when someone wants me to come on board their brand for long term projects? Please advise..

Freelance project cost ask

So I'm a Marketing & Growth Guy with 7 years of experience (Expertise - Performance Marketing) and currently working for Company abroad as a Growth Lead for one of their projects. I get 2.5 Lacs (In Hand) every month as a salary.

Now the problem is, they hired me last year April. And product isn't ready till now. Whenever it is about to be ready, there's a new pivot that comes across and I go completely free. I've done only 2-3 mini campaigns. 

Also, its WFH so I've plenty of free time. And I'm wasting it by sleeping in the afternoon. It's like I'm getting free salary without doing anything. Recently I've started actively swing trading in Stock Market and have got 2 small freelancing projects - Just to keep myself busy.

With this, I'm obviously not learning anything at work and also, there's a sense of insecurity that I'll be laid off anytime. 

What should I do? Leave it? Or continue my guilty pleasure? My age is 29 and I would want to move towards stability.

Kare toh Kare kya? Resign or Continue?
