Have you done HR consulting assignments on the side? I’m looking for ways to bring in more income and would love to consult on the side but don’t know where to find projects. I wish I didn’t have to worry about working another job but compensation hasn’t caught up to inflation and the budget has gotten tighter and tighter.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had experience working for a business that helps you find consulting jobs? I recall there’s a few local and trusted firms that facilitate the client development.

I haven’t ever done anything like that, but it is definitely something I would consider in this economy. I am always looking for side hustles and ways to make extra cash. Not sure if Upwork has anything like that, but it might be worth looking. They have lots of different types of projects on there, it seems.

I will check that out! Is that like a job board or ire the roles project based ?

I've done a few contracts here and there, but I found that I was working a lot more for only a little bit of money. That might've been my fault, I should have asked for more money. But you just have to be careful with what you agreed to do and how much you agreed to do it for. Keep in mind that you'll be paying 35 to 40% in taxes for whatever you end up doing, that ended up screwing me.

That’s a good point. Taxes always get you. But then again if you’re able to write off your equipment and anything related to the job it might end up working out better from a tax purpose.

I think as long as you read your agreement you signed at your current company to make sure it doesn’t clash, I’d suggest it. Also cleaning too on the side helped me bring in money. Also part time jobs like merchandising helped me make it through also!

Merchandising? What kind of work does that entail?

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary. I have experience in Management both restaurant, healthcare, and I suppose this particular position counts too I just don’t know how to specify it. I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
