You seem like someone with a decent enough insight of contract drafting and the corporate thing. You can cold message a few startup owners in LinkedIn that have potential or received a funding and elaborate what you will be bringing to the table and how you could help them cut costs if they hire you for catering their legal needs.
Even if it does not have a physical office or a good funding, it would eventually help your personal growth and experience. It would contribute to a much sustainable career in the long-run as compared to the other suggestions. Again, I'm just brainstorming how I would've dealt with it without any knowledge, so let's see what others has to say.
I hope you live a prosperous life! ⭐
I can't solicit work in my own name as I am afraid of losing my main job, so I am currently dependant on a placement team of an edtech company where I did a course. Side by side I got a friend to create a profile on upwork and I pitch for projects using his profile, he can't do any of the work so I do it. its slowly picking up. I think at some point I will just leave my job and do this full time although my parents are telling me its better to stick to a stable job rather than freelance work given that a recession may be coming.
Its not easy to survive like this but I had no choice if I did not want to live in one room shared with 5 other people.
Mai bhi karta hu. 5.4LPA A2 small delhi firm me hu.
Also, if you happen to own a sedan or an “UberX” category car, Uber/Ola driver is also a good option, even though the pay might be somewhat less there.
I’ve also heard about a few people who regularly donate blood in exchange of money. Not sure if that’s completely legal tho.
I am an A1 at a small Mumbai- based firm, currently making 2.4L pa. The work culture and timings of my firm are decent, whereas my seniors are decent as well.
To be very honest, I am not satisfied with my current pay, and would like to work as a freelancer or part time, after my works hours, hoping to make a little more than what I'm pulling currently. Maybe help people with drafting contracts, reviewing agreements, or just anything etc. etc.
Despite the entire "moonlighting" debate, I will make sure that I do to not flout any confidentiality or employment clauses of my contract with my current place of work.
Could I get any leads as to the above as to where I can start doing the above or just any other way I can increase my income and contribute a little more to my family?
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thank you!
