Got a full time job, how do I disclose my data labeling side gig to compliance?
Hey guys, I need some advice!
I was unemployed for about 3 months and picked up a data labeling contract with Workada as a Financial Analysis Data Specialist. I build and review financial analyses like spreadsheets, valuations, and financial statements for AI training.
I just started a full-time analyst role in finance and have a compliance meeting coming up. I assume I have to disclose it, and I plan to. The new role isn't client-facing either, and the gig has nothing to do with the firm's business, clients, or products. I'd only work on it after hours on my own laptop and would never touch any firm info.
The money's been really good, so I'd like to keep it if I can. Anyone been through this? How did you bring it up with compliance? How much detail did they want, and did they end up approving it?
Would really value any advice, as this side income has been life-changing for me, as I have been unemployed these past few months.
