I do small projects like for friends or startups in the evenings to make a lil something but not full fledged freelance on top of my full time.

Exactly, avoid conflicts of interest at all cost. But I always have a freelance project or two going.
I try to keep them small though.

Avoid conflicts of interest. I wouldn’t freelance for another agency. Otherwise, you don’t get paid a bonus and job security in this industry is not great. So I would take the money and run as long as it doesn’t interfere with your full time job.

Very very common

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
