Risky risky risky. If there’s even a hint of conflict of interest—and with two agencies with multiple clients, there’s bound to be—you could put yourself in majorly bad legal/NDA (your original employment agreement) territory.

I did it once but made sure it was kind of a crappy project that would never make awards (brochure long copy) before committing. I made like 10k for 5 hours of work and it was totally worth it. Just be careful

I would not.

Another agency? Nah. But you could totally do a freelance project that's from a non agency client.

Not from the US. But from a small market. I’m in a startup as well so I have leeway. Friend from another agency needed another hand for their pitch. Brand wasn’t a competitor so I thought it was okay. I helped and basically got 2/5 of my monthly salary for about 3 days of work.

don't do it. you'll get in trouble.

Yes, they’re not paying me for my loyalty.
