Options for Moonlighting?
Hi Folks,
So I recently bought a house and I'm the only source of income. I crunched the numbers several times in a spreadsheet to make sure I should manage it. Even though I can manage it, I'd still like to make extra money preferably with programming since that's what I'm good at. If I could earn on average an extra $50-100 a week I'd be happy.
I've tutored in the past which isn't a great gig when you use services like Wyzant which take a 40% cut.
I've looked at contracting sites like guru, freelance, upwork but the jobs are vague and the bidding wars are intimidating.
I was thinking of keeping it local and offering shops and restaurants in my area my web design and programming services.
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
- czbond 11y agoWhy not find a startup that could use an extra developer, or an agency ? Restaurants, etc make horrible clients - and often pay very little, considering how much time it takes to close the deal. I could find moonlighting devs work all day. What technologies are you comfortable in?
- nmquirk 11y agoI'm very comfortable in SQL, Java, JavaScript (including jQuery), CSS, Clojure, Struts, Spring MVC and a little Android. I do full-stack web app development for my day job and a lot of personal projects for fun.
- czbond 11y agoSolid - please email me a resume or similar to chriszbond at gmail.com We can chat about moonlighting work - eg: a few hrs, a few hrs week, or a monht, etc. I have immediate Java work (short but sweet, not a long project integrating into MySql and Kafka, and have JS FrontEnd/Backend Node.js that we could chat about.
