Doing that now. Working 2 jobs remotely. Very important to read your companies employee handbook and policy. The hard part is keeping up with both jobs. Try to avoid scheduling meetings at the same time and staying on top of things. It’s a bit stressful so it’s important to take care of your health if you decide to go this route. You won’t be able to give 100% to each job everyday and you have to be ok with that.

I don’t have any intentions of doing this long term but I picked up a 2nd job to pay off debt. My work load comes in waves and right now I’m hurtin 😩

Employee handbooks can be one sided. There is nothing in there that they may work you beyond 40 hours without overtime. Unless there is a serious conflict of interest, their policies about moonlighting is wishful thinking. Can they fire you? Yes. But they can fire or lay you off to meet their quarterly numbers.

Look for any moonlight policies or engaging in work outside of the orgs. I’ve been doing it for almost a year and no problem!

With the IRS? None.
With either employer? Read everything you sign including the handbook.

I tried it… it was risky so I don’t recommend doing it long term

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.
