Really depends on your goal. Mine was simply to save extra funds to pay off debt and save for a downpayment for a home. Once completed, I quit J2.
Also I’m married with two boys and for me family time is way more important at this stage of my life. I know others who are single with multiple jobs and loving it and have their eyes on early retirement. Those are all great but I think it comes down to what is motivating you to do it in the first place.
I’ve also seen others who take a break from OE when its getting overwhelming and just jump back in again later.
My goal was to just save a chunk which we did and also finish a large home project all paid in cash. I would like to pay off 1 more “bill” and then probably be done. It’s hard to walk away from $100/hr though. I also have 3 boys, thankfully both jobs don’t bother me much after 4:30ish as I jump into mom duty. Appreciate the feedback. Also the amount I’m paying in taxes is astronomical and sad. About to pay $7k this quarter+ I bet we still owe.
How did you land the second job and in what field?
I'm looking into operations roles as J2, but not sure if that'll be a good option.
Also, how do you manage a hybrid role with J2?
OPS role generally have too much going on so maybe not a good choice, but I could be wrong.
Ever thought about sharing the role with someone? Half the work and half the pay? Or 60/40? One person has to be the point person and face, but I feel like it's totally doable
LOL idk if I would ever do that BUT if you were a developer and did coding or something it would be easier. I’m constantly on camera for calls etc.
Are you a PM in your J2 also?
Yes. More IT PM but I did just hear my contract won’t be renewed unfortunately
