spent 45 minutes explaining my achievements in an interview. The recruiter ended with, "So what do you do for fun?" At this point, survival is my hobby.

When I tell you I felt that. Survival has become my hobby as well. I don't know how anyone can do anything fun when they are stressed about finding a job in this job market.

Exactly. “What do you do for fun?” feels like a trap when fun requires disposable income and free time.

"Fun"? That's a foreign concept to me right now. Watching bills pile up with no money coming in to chip away at them really isn't all that enjoyable.

Fun? You mean those ten minutes between stress and sleep? Yeah, I am booked solid.

Can I parallelly work in a subcontract of another start-up while working full-time for Capgemini?

Is this a breach of my agreements/compliances with Capgemini?

If I do so, will Capgemini ever get to know about that subcontract that I'm working for? If YES, how?

Should I avoid taking such risks?

What are all possible repercussions this step could have???
