I’ve been moonlighting since covid.

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.

What kind of projects do you work on? How do you manage the schedule?

Usually work with North American clients, rupee is down almost 15% in last few mos against $$s, so that's added benefit. Plus, i pick up task which won't take more than 3 weeks, so not too much of commitment. What you need is a strong showcase of your projects to get any project

How do you find work on upwork? Any tips for profile?
