What are some actually good ways to make money on the side?
There’s investing, consulting (I’m still junior for that), expert networks, interview as a service, freelancing etc.
Looking to hear from people who have done the above or something else, what’s something that you can do a few hours a week and actually make decent money on?
Investing is a no-brainer. If you have extra time (like can put aside 2-3 hours or more a week), trying to get excited about stock evaluations can be a rewarding hobby. Especially for IPOs.
I typically go deep into annual reports and coverage reports for stocks that I'm interested in, and accordingly end up investing. But not necessarily pays off every time
