Can OT be a side hustle?

Just some thoughts that I have recently. Staying back and doing overtime at your work, can you consider that as a side hustle? Would you do it?

My day job salary roughly translate to RM45/hour. Just a modest middle class income. I have the option to do OT either on the weekday (min 1.5 hours) or on the weekends (min 3 hours). The OT pays you a flat rate around RM23/hour.

I've been meaning to start a side hustle but no idea on what business to start. Since I don't have the idea yet, and to start one probably will take a bit of time, I started to think to just do OT during my day job as a side hustle.

Mind you, the place that I'm working is quite generous in terms of OT, meaning there's always work to do and you can choose to do OT if you want. No need to ask for permissions or lengthy proof to do OT.

This is just a thought to start a discussion. If you have this kind of opportunity, would you do it?
