Moonlighting

Also called: moonlight, side job, side gig, side project, side hustle, nights and weekends

Doing paid work on the side, outside a full-time job. An employment contract or company policy may limit it.

For example: An engineer with a full-time job spends five hours a week helping a startup for pay. That engineer first reads the employment contract to see what side work it allows.
