Any suggestions on how to make an extra 1k to 3k a month? I’d be open to being a freelance data scientist. Not sure where to start.

Upwork?

I’ve been doing Upwork for ~8 years now. Profile has never been an issue.

Put up a profile on Upwork. Finding that first gig can take some time, but once you have a few projects under your belt it gets much easier to find work and even increase your rates. I’ve been doing it for 8 years now. I can net an incremental 2k a month with 6-7 hours per week.

About your company seeing your profile…you can keep it semi-anonymous if it concerns you. My profile contains my first name and last initial. If someone really wanted to, they could figure out it was me. But it hasn’t been an issue in 8 years and I’m not worried about it going forward. I only use my personal assets for work though—no company computer or company-paid cloud accounts.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
