Couple of questions for all the seasoned professionals out there - I’m thinking of getting a side hustle so that I can reach my financial goals. How do I go about finding one? Is maintaining one manageable or does it just make you feel completely overwhelmed?

Are you looking for anything specific?

Totally doable. I've been working freelance gigs on Upwork for 4-5 years now. Definitely helps pay the bills.

It's going to depend on your workload. It can take a lot to build your hustle, and managing a bunch of one-off projects is tough. If you can find a longterm project like writing about financial topics, it could be doable.

Curious what your title structure is for roles focused specifically on organic social media (or does it always require paid expertise?). I imagine Community Manager is appropriate for entry level but when you start to grow and the work becomes more than social moderation - responsible for the development of all organic content (and sometimes copywriting), high level reporting, etc. - not sure what's most reflective of the roles. Any insights and perspectives welcome :)

Currently have the FRM title.
I failed CFA level 3 once.

I'm hoping to eventually do CAIA, but only after I'm done with CFA. I'm also hoping to do non-financial certifications, like Certified analytics professional (CAP), and learn about web development.

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?
