Hey guys,

I'm fresh outta college. 21. Studied engineering. I interned at a startup for the last 4 months, they are now offering me a full time job since I've graduated.

This startup is in the B2B fintech space, I get to work with the CEO and investors first hand, got to learn a lot of shit in the last 4 months as an intern. It's a small 8 people company(including me)

The problem with the full time job is that they're paying too little. Can't even make rent with that money, that little. But I live with my parents for now. This is thanks to the COVID crisis putting everyone into a cash crunch. I am getting some ESOPs though.

I like the role, it's focused around growth(sales, bizdev, marketing) and a bit of product management. I think it will help me build the right knowledge necessary to start my own startup 3 to 5 years from now.

I wanna move out of my parents house. Looking to start something on the side. Any recommendations on what I can do? I will be working hard at the startup, say a 11 to 13 hour commitment per day. What are some things I can do that would help me build some cashflow on the side?
