Does anyone have freelance gigs ontop of their FT agency role? If so, how many hrs is the freelance gig and how is the work balance? First time entering this territory, a bit nervous 😬

I’ve been freelancing for a company for a couple months. The project I’m on doesn’t have a hard deadline (which can be a double edged sword) so I can organize my work fine. I usually do an hour or two every day before or after my FT job, and then I’ll catch up with 5-10 more hours during the weekend if needed.

Freelance really depends on the client though. My client keeps ghosting me for periods of time, so there are some weeks when I don’t have to do anything and other weeks when I have to rush to get things finished. Sometimes I regret doing it because there are weeks when I have 0 free time. But I only do it a couple times a year to supplement income so it’s not a big deal at the end of the day.

Be careful your freelance work doesn’t conflict with your job. They can fire you if you work on competition or during business hours.

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future.

I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
