Hey all - Just curious if anyone has done independent WD consulting while employed FT at a WD partner firm? I know employment contracts typically have verbiage there prohibiting any sort of conflict of interest, but I’ve heard people doing so as long as the independent gig does not overlap directly with any existing clients?

As all the other replies are alluding, it happens a fair amount but the people doing it usually get caught and get fired. Not worth it.

If you want to moonlight to maximize your earnings, you can go full independent consultant and just take on multiple full time contracts. Probably still not a great idea depending on how efficient you are but you at least aren’t breaking any employment agreements and jeopardizing your job/career.

Yes just go independent. You can make tons of money running multiple contracts and take as much vacation as you want.

Lol. Easier, and much more acceptable to do something like that if you go in industry.
