Would you list side projects on LinkedIn while employed at a full-time job?

Over the past six months, I've tackled some side projects that I'd like to highlight on my LinkedIn profile because it's provided opportunities that I wouldn't otherwise do at my job.

However, because I'm currently employed at a full-time job, I worry that if I add this stuff, even as freelance jobs, it'll catch the attention of my employer and I'll get grilled on why I didn't bring it in-house, which is because these were done for people I personally knew and the rate my firm charges is much more than my personal rate.

I am connected with some people at the firm, so when I add these "job(s)," I risk it showing up on their feed, but I assume I can opt to not have it listed on people's feed.

What I'd love to do is add it as a job under my "personal firm" name but would be fine as listing them as individual contracted jobs.

For those who were in a similar situation, how did you approach this? Did you just keep it off? List it as contract jobs or list it as a secondary side-project job?
