moonlighting
This term carries a nuance of secrecy or semi-clandestinity, often implying that the secondary employment is kept hidden from the primary employer to avoid conflicts of interest or breach of contract. While not always illegal, it suggests a strategic balancing act between professional obligations and personal financial needs.
As a noun, the word functions as a gerund describing the general practice of taking on extra work. When used as a verb, it specifically describes the action of the individual. It is almost exclusively used in professional or economic contexts rather than for casual hobbies.
