This is not something you can pull off at a side gig on any meaningful scale. You can do freelance/consulting part time as a side gig at best.

Depends on your definition of a startup but yes on developing a company on the side. I treat it like another one of my clients and sometimes take calls or update Google docs during the day. Passion really helps as does eliminating TV and using all of your time outside of work wisely.

you need partners. if you're the only one leading shit, everything will take a backseat when you get busy. being able to tag in and out of a leadership role has been invaluable to keeping my thing alive.

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
