No... Also make sure not to declare during investment proofs submission cycle.. If you declare there, employer can know if they are closely looking... Mention in your tax filing with IT department.. You are safe

Will my employer be able to find me receiving payments through UpWork ?

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?

Got laid off and had to join a shitty company. If I get a job in other company, I don’t plan to mention my present company as my last working job. Is that fine? Would they by any chance track previous employer through pf or tax?

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 graduated in May 2023 and joined a US-based remote startup as an SDE in September 2023. They don't have a physical office in India, so they hired me via Deel (https://www.deel.com/) as an independent contractor.

In the future, if I plan to make a switch, will I face any problems as all the documents state that I'm a contractor and not a full-time employee?

The full-time employees of the company also work remotely, so the experience I get is pretty much the same.

To add some more context, I participated in Google Summer of Code 2023 and received the offer to work full-time later. So it is an open source organization, and all the pull requests I make are publicly available on my GitHub profile, but I highly doubt that the HR team will consider that.

I really love working here, but if it'll create some difficulty in the future, then I might have to reconsider.

Help and suggestions would be really helpful.

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 take side hustle projects through friends and upwork while working my current job since the past 8 months. 

Work from my org barely lasts 4 hours a day if done judiciously.

I’ve been making almost 1L extra per month this way and been having great performance appraisals in my org which is helping me save a ton of money. 

I do feel scare while doing it but intend to do it till mid of next year at the least.

I’ve been moonlighting since covid.

Is it permissible to use ChatGPT while Upwork is capturing screenshots?

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!!

Upwork is revamping its business model to support full-time hiring

Upwork revamping business model- Shift from freelancing to fulltime hiring

Hello Fine Viners- it's been 2 months now that I am actively looking for a job change. Have faced instances where the HR calls me regarding the scheduling of the interview, but vo hota hi nahi hai! Even if the interview is scheduled, I don't get an update post that call. I have rejected 2 offers (there are solid reasons to do so) and have been rejected from 2 :(

LinkedIn and IIMjobs are on a constant battle on who will give me the most rejection emails or updates. 

Anyways, I am getting a bit worried lately and wanted to know from ya'll, IS HIRING EVEN HAPPENING!? 

In case your answer to the above question is YES, then please mention your company name and mode of working (wfh, wfo or hybrid). Referral are also welcomed.

Hey guys, my first post on here.

I have been unemployed since a year due to some personal problems, but right now interviewing. On my resume is it advisable to add my freelance work which I’ve done in the past year instead of the gap ? It was on and off freelancing for a friends company.

I wanted inputs on, if this is okay and also, how would a background check be done regarding this? Is contact with the client good enough for background verification.

Thank you

How to hide Previous employment

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?

Had to overlap working for two companies for a couple of months because of my 90-day notice period. Would this be a problem?

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
