Anyone either has a side hustle or working on their own startup while working for a consulting firm? Perhaps creating your own exit opportunity. Any thoughts, experience? Is it feasible, if so how?

It is. Know quite a few people who have done it. They used the time to flesh out their ideas, develop business plans, create pitch decks, etc.

Fair, I def see that as being feasible, research, business plan, etc. I guess I was thinking more of operating the business and generating revenue.

I’ve always been big into comedy so I’ve been writing comedic skits and working on animating them since my senior year in college. Would call it more of a hobby that could potentially be a exit opportunity, due to recent events I’ve had a lot more time to work on these skits. Have some great ones from my time consulting tho

As in consulting? I know some people who have YouTube channels that make good money.

Anything is fair game, but preferably not consulting.

I’d say find what you enjoy and work from there
