Starting out involves choosing the right platforms, with many professionals seeking advice on how to secure their first project and build a personal brand. Time commitment can range significantly, with some dedicating a few hours weekly, while others might spend up to 20 hours. A notable concern is whether to inform their current employer, with mixed practices observed. Alternatives to freelancing for extra income include consulting, teaching, or creating online courses, offering varied opportunities for those in the data science field.
