I've been looking at becoming a Travel Agent on the side. I currently work in tech, looking for a side hustle that my company won't frown upon on. Anyone have any tip to share with as a travel agent?

Suggestion:
Create an LLC, and take on Corp to Corp (C2C) project manager roles.

Im a Program Manager, and on the side I run several C2C projects through my LLC.

I figure, I have the experience and knowledge, and its easy(ish).

Caveat: This may only work if you work remotely.

Hey folks. Can anyone help me with the dress code for HSBC Tech. And how strictly is it followed.

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

I need to make some extra money to help save for a house. Any ideas? I work from home so ideally the role would be wfh.

Here’s an idea for people looking for some pretty passive income. Recycle metal. I got permission at work and put bins with can crushers in the break rooms (I was at the cleaning company, not at the place we cleaned). People crushed the cans and every couple days I would take them home depending on how fast they filled up. I was making decent money taking them to a recycling center. Several of my neighbors saved cans for me too.
