I ran a remote team doing part time work for about a year and a half while having a full time job. For the part time work, I acted as PM and somewhat of a TLM. I learned a ton about managing people and customers. I shut it down when I felt I wasn't learning as much (and learned a lot about how not to drop customers...). It was stressful and the incremental money was only $20k-30k/yr or so. Looking back it was definitely the exposure to new roles that was the main value.
