I wish I was overemployed. Searching for gigs, but nothing yet. Any tips on how to get one or more extra jobs?

I know all the usual answers: network (no results), look on upwork (no results yet, most jobs are woefully underpaid) - probably same for the rest of the standard gigs sites.

Is there a way to be proactive and market onesself as a professional, not a blog writer or speaker?

What kind of roles are you looking for specifically?

Forgot to add ML, Neo4J, Solidity also.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.
