How much time should you realistically dedicate to a side gig? Between work and family, I feel like I have maybe 10 hours a week to spare. Is that enough or should I wait until I can free up more time?

I think it really depends on the specific type of side gig and how much you need it.

Depends on your situation. You don’t want the side hustle to negatively impact your job. I work 10-20 hours a week on the side and it is enough

Sometimes it’s enough to start with where you are and what you have. You can easily adjust after that if needed.

10-20 about 2 hours to 4 hours a day

I’m looking for referral partners, all you have to do is network and recommend me/my company and you can make between $50-300 per referral.

This executive I support has given me an e-gift card for the 3rd time in the past 5 months. Each gift card is $300.

I had already told him monetary awards were not necessary as the "thank-you" and words of appreciation were enough for me.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable

This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.
