People working in consulting - how did you find out if your side hustle infringes on your current employment? Want to make sure I don’t get in trouble

Usually if they don’t overlap in scope of work you should be fine. If they are too close and you’re asking yourself the question, then I would suggest checking with your firm to see if you’re allowed to do so. Good luck!

Came here to say this. The safest way to know for sure is to ask your boss.

If it could cause financial or reputational harm to your current employer, then it's a no-go. Like, if you're competing or trying to steal clients. If it's totally unrelated, then go for it.

Ya this would only be helping build reports for a start up, not something I think my current employer would do

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.
