Thanks for the reply!

I'm aware of that risk of course, that's why I try to gather opinions about it.

The goal is indeed to earn more and asking for a promotion isn't an option. Finding a better job isn't that easy either.

I've done a bit of stuff like this, and yeah, pushing too hard is a huge risk.

Could you scale back your full-time job? Ask to be part-time?

Thanks for the reply, Ben!

Scaling back my full-time job is not an option, unfortunately.

In fact I'm mostly looking for a way to make money on my free time, that's why I thought about freelancing. The alternative would be to try to make money with my own side projects (eventually) but I believe they're not the right kind of projects for that.
