Attempting to unlock DMs with a cute dog

Hello Folks,
My LWD with current organization is on 30-Sep-2022.
I have an offer with HCl and joining date is on 3-oct-2022.
I have cleared the TCS technical and managerial round and got an email to upload the documents to proceed further with HR discussion, an I have done it yesterday.
But my priority is to go with TCS, but the doubt is will TCS provide offer or joining letter before 30-Sep-2022, because only 6 days left to complete my LWD.
Any suggestions to handle this.

Sorry for delayed response. I did not receive your DM for some reason. Let me know if you would still like to connect
Your full time employer allows moonlighting? Almost every real company I've met does not allow this. I'd clear that first... or if you really want the side gig, perhaps re-cast your full time role as a long-term consulting gig. I've done that in the past.

False.
Most companies have a moonlight clause preventing you from developing IP (including customer lists) with company institutional knowledge and assigning that IP to yourself, making money doing the same work as for your day job using institutional knowledge (e.g., upselling services to customers/clients for your moonlighting company), and moonlighting on their dime (working on your night job while clocked in to your day job). Even then, unlikely company will come after you unless you use company resources to steal business or piss off customers.
EY for example (I'm sure most big 4 are similar) heavily frowns on it and has you sign employment terms that assign all IP to them irrespective of how it was developed, which is absurd and likely unenforceable. You can still get approval for "secondary employment" and I got the legal team to drop the absurd IP clause (and tighten it to things related to my work at EY, which is standard). Helps to negotiate upfront on this.
You can moonlight almost anywhere I've worked as an engineer. Just has to be fairly unrelated to your day job to avoid a claim on the IP you create or revenue you generate.
