Interested in starting up a “side” hustle with the potential of becoming my “main” hustle.

Work experience/skills are in audit (both internal audit and Big 4 F/S audits), enterprise risk management, consulting, finance, and data analytics. I’ve got an MBA & CPA. I don’t really care too much for tax but have volunteered with VITA in the past.

Anyone out there with similar experiences start a business consulting gig? What services do you offer? And do you find there is sufficient demand?

There is sufficient demand for fractional CFO work for small and mid size business and emerging startups. You can cross sell other services but you have to be a very good salesperson to generate clients.

Guys,
Need some suggestions.
Currently I am working in TCS Kolkata with 6.8lpa, technology - Exchange 2010 (which is already out of support from Microsoft).
I got an offer from Infosys Bhubaneswar with 9.3lpa, technology: Office 365.
My hometown is Kolkata.
Hybrid model is okay for me if it is Bhubaneswar as my in-laws won't allow me to move to a different city. Problem is opportunities are very less in Kolkata and TCS won't hire ex- employees. Should I switch to Infosys or stay back in TCS..

I think it’d be helpful if those of us who have exited into Bay Area tech start a comp thread so others can benchmark.
