I’m a fresh graduated engineer from Italy and I am trying to work in my company and do freelance jobs at the same time.
I do that mainly to understand which is the better path to follow in the future and to raise more money (just a little bit by now).

Do you ever find time to sleep?

I have my own llc that the company is not aware of. I don't work on jobs during my full time hours tho. It's mainly on the weekends.

I'm not currently doing any side gigs, but I'd like to start doing some soon. I think it would be a great way to get more experience in different areas and to make some extra money.

I've been working on a few side gigs in addition to my usual work. It's been a great way to explore new interests and make some extra money.

At the moment I'm not maintaining it because work is very tiring lately, but in my free time I used to make some web pages. Just for fun and for a little extra money.

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance. Started the process 2 weeks ago with HR and now they've ghosted me since then, though they said I have stuff to fill out ASAP. Normal? And am I too American pushy if I reach out to the hiring manager (and my future team) for an update instead?
