Avoid doing side gig work on your company-issued laptop. Keep your calendar properly blocked so you don't get double booked. And above all, do not work with two competing client brands simultaneously.

Noncompete clause. You’re basically working for Ferrari while also working for Maserati on the side. Just not a good look as far as reputation goes. And yeah you could get sued if things are looking too similar.

Adding to what VP BD1 said above: never take a freelance gig with an agency under the same holding company umbrella as your FT job.

Payroll will notify both.

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
