Hi There, I am a finance and analytics professional with ~7 years of experience in domains like FP&A, OTC, Process transformation and Healthcare analytics. I have hands on experience on Google tools like spreadsheets, Google data studio and other internal tools. Have also worked on multiple Google projects with the PPG team in Google US.
It would be super helpful if somebody from Google can refer me. Please comment below if somebody can and I'll add them over LinkedIn and share the details.
People waiting for weekend.😀

Do NOT ask.
Do NOT tell anyone including coworkers
Do not use your FT company issued computer for freelance work
Do not freelance for an agency under the same holding company umbrella as your FT employer.
*Or who may be perceived as a conflict. i.e. Don't do work for Unilever on the side when you're working full time with Procter & Gamble.
Better to just not saying anything at all. I’ve had a conversation with a higher up my previous agency (they weren’t my boss or anything, we were cool on a personal level) and they basically told me to operate on a “don’t ask, don’t tell” basis
No no no
Ignore policy. Never tell.
C'mon. No. I talk about some side things I have going but it's more of a hobby so never an issue. If I were to freelance in advertising while working FT, I'd never disclose that work to my FT employer. Ever.
did you fall and hit your head?
It really depends on your company's policy and the nature of the freelance work you're doing. Many organizations allow side gigs as long as they do not conflict with the company's interests or affect your performance. Maybe go through your employment contract or company handbook for guidelines about outside work.
Did you sign something that prevents you from working with others?
I let my agency owner know I was taking on a freelance gig once and he got all skeevy about it. Like I was taking advantage of him. There was zero conflict. Not on company time. No impact on my ability to do my job at all. But he said he needed time to think about whether he would allow it. Thing is, I wasn’t asking for permission. I was just letting him know. And the truth is I was going to do the job no matter what he said. I had already started. Still he got all bent out of shape like I was asking to borrow his car or something. The next time it happened, I just kept it to myself. And it was fine. So my suggestion to you is, do the ethical thing. Make sure your side gig is not impacting your regular gig in any way. Then do the work, get paid and be happy.
Don’t do it. Best way to lose your job
OKAY! guess I have my answer :D
Say nothing and freelance away....unless you are working for the competition.
What you do on your own time is none their business. I worked a 2nd job when I had a full time job.
Why would you tell or ask? There is zero benefit to that. Just do you if you can handle both.
