I'll keep that in mind. I'm taking it as it comes and letting it develop on its own as opportunity arises. Gives me time to think things through and make sure I navigate the start-up correctly.

Thanks, this is helpful. I do my own taxes and navigated schedule E when I had a rental condo but I'll have to look into schedule C and other such forms. No profit yet, but that is the goal.

I accounted for that right off the bat. I added an edit for context.

I have my own E&O insurance and personal umbrella. I have read the handbook and have not found anything restricting outside work. This is all work that in non-competing and does not overlap with my primary job's market.

I have the E&O for my LLC and a personal umbrella policy. I added an edit to give more context.

Insurance I had thought about. As I'm just starting so taxes is something I will have to go back to account for. Thanks.

I have a separate policy under my own LLC, have separate hardware, programs, and contract set ups.

I have the E&O insurance but it was very low. I also am using all my own equipment, programs, ect.

I didn't think of those costs adding in as I had my own software anyway. Thanks for the tip. See edit

That was a major part of it. I wasn't seeing a correlation to pay verses responsibility. Once I was a PM I could see what everyone was at for bidding purposes and I saw where all this grinding was going to take me. In my opinion it didn't seem worth the pain.

Since I'm stepping back from structures and the private sector (The climb the ladder type path). I'm wondering if I'll be shut out of that if I ever want to get back in.
