I feel like I’m not doing enough just working my analyst job
Wondering if anyone has had any side hustles? Tutoring or something and if it’s worth it?
Purely for monetary reasons or even passion?

I would recommend re-starting a hobby, something that you feel like gives you more energy than what you put in. As you explore which hobbies to pursue, you'll be able to re-discover what you're actually passionate about. Sometimes, to survive in banking, you might have numbed some of your emotional responses in order to turn comments that require less critical thinking or emotion (e.g., moving logos, putting language from CIMs, etc.). Once you know what it feels like to enjoy creating/doing something, you'll be able to identify what your ideal side hustle is.
Personally, I feel like I can provide consultations for people with their personal finances, especially when it comes to identifying what investment products they should invest in based on their personal goals. Truthfully, it usually ends up being "invest in ETFs", but I can provide additional value add such as telling people to invest consistently over time rather than all at once, or only checking their trading accounts once a month, etc.
Found this app “Prediction Strike” and it’s basically the stock market but for sports, I’ve only just started though but it’s made watching the PL interesting again and the only thing I have a positive return on YTD lol
I sometimes assist with capital raising for RE funds or sometimes tech series A raises that I know the GPs of. I'll negotiate a 1,5-2% fee which gives me a nice chunk of pocket money that comes in every now and again.
Tbh my job gives me more than enough remuneration but I enjoy keeping my dance card full so it's always nice to have some extra exposure to the wider market.
do you report that you do this to your company or just not tell anyone? also, how did you initially get involved in this (esp the tech funds)?
At the moment I run my own CRE Advisory so I don't actually need to report back to anyone that I'm doing it. In the past however I have had discreet conversations with my higher ups to clear it with them and to make sure that I'm not treading on any toes.
A lot of my advisory at the moment has pivoted away from advising on RE acquisitions and portfolio strategy to capital formation recently. Being in finance I've always had exposure to the capital formations side of PE/VC funds so I've had familiarity with it -and with that exposure came exposure to LPs and as a knock on effect, building out my Rolodex from there really.
Bump? Anything out there?
Sports betting I’m up $3K last 2 months from nba and nfl
Betting has been really profitable for me as well.
and before that? lmao

Try to get legitimately good at chess*.
It’s intellectually stimulating, challenging, and genuinely addictive. You can sink 1k-2k hours into it and come to the hilarious dual realization that 1) you’ll now slaughter >99.5% of the population and 2) you’ll still get slaughtered by most of the other .5% and you’ve got a longggg way to go
*As long as your primary objective isn’t extra money
