Does anyone in tech do side gigs? I feel like my skills in tech are only useful in my career field (networking, cybersecurity, system administration, pc servicing & troubleshooting).

I find it hard to find any gig work that doesn't require getting another full-time job.

I do technical freelance writing on the side. It's less tech-specific but you need to know the language in order to get the jobs. The fact that I'm an engineer helps me land the jobs, and the fact that I enjoy writing helps me keep them. You might wanna look into that.

Came here to say this - also WorkMarket is a decent freelancing platform. A lot of it is just showing up to swap out a debit card reader at a gas station, or replace a network drop cable, etc... Fairly easy stuff for (usually) decent money. I have noticed that none of the typical pay rates have gone up over the past few years, but that's kind of everywhere now isn't it lol

I try to freelance my skills for people, but the side gigs are hard to find. I get a few small ones a month, but most people don't want to pay for the full experience and only want a small page. For that, they know they can use Wix or other sites themselves and don't want to pay my fees. So yeah, it can be a little hard to find side work.

I’m trying to get all my ducks in a row for when I quit here at the end of next month… I am taking a break to figure out what I want to do, so I will be unemployed for a time. Do I have to notify the ARDC of this change (IL licensed)? Do I have to immediately switch to inactive status or can I stay active in case I decide to keep practicing law just a few months later? Thanks in advance fishies!!
