TLDR; what in a job contract would not allow me to do a 1099 and the W2 job? Need specifics to look through my contract.
I am noticing I have a skill set that would allow me to consult but I have always devoted my time to whatever company I am W2 at. I want to actually start an LLC and try out consulting but won’t be able to stop my FTE due to needing the income stable.
Although the last couple years I feel like I am losing out on money because I work 60 hours for one company and all my friends have 1 plus a side job. I tried for one company 3 years ago and the managers were not pleased with me even asking. They basically said no.
Is there anything specific in my FTE contract that would hold me to not being able to do this? I feel like my time outside the business hours “should” allow me to do whatever I want. Yet this is corporate America I know there’s probably special wording to stop this and don’t want to risk my lively hood for a couple extra bucks maybe.
