Hey fishes!

I’ve got a quick question. Does companies allow people to work on another part-time projects (freelancing), during their employment? Most companies have restricted their employees to be involved in such side gigs, right?

Then how do people freelance? They do it without letting the company know?

Interviewed for 5.5 hours today at a boutique IB today.

Long story short - Illinois IRS made me submit W2s for tax correction due to working out of state.

NOW they assessed a penalty and was told the call center can’t fix this after. I called in July to get this done before deadlines. What can I do.
