For those of you with “successful” side hustles, can you talk about your journey? Was it a passion you turned into a business? Was it an opportunity in the marketplace you took advantage of but take similar enjoyment as you do with your FT job? Do you find it takes away from your motivation at your FT job? How did you take the first steps?

TIA!

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
