Side hustle ideas

I somewhat had a bit of success with freelancing sites (e.g., Upwork, Toptal), but it wasn't really consistent. Essentially got a few projects where I made anywhere from $50 - $100 / hr of work depending on the assignment. At one point I had a 10hr / week role that lasted a few weeks which was nice extra income. That being said keep in mind that it was hard getting these gigs. It's competitive and I probably only had a <5% success rate. I definitely was qualified, but a lot of it was about building your profile on these platforms so even though I had IB, M&A, whatever experience, I had maybe a handful of reviews compared to the other guy that has 100+. Also, in the grand scheme of things it might make more sense to pivot to higher paying jobs. For example, even at $50 / hr if you do 10 hr / week you get $500 extra bucks / week meaning an extra $25k / year. Don't get me wrong, that's good money, but it might be more efficient to network, fix your resume, and start spamming it out to land a job that pays 10-20% more or at a higher level than you're currently at. Heck, if you want to do banking maybe trying to find a pathway there is a better use of your time than a side gig.
