Anyone here working multiple lower level jobs to cover their monthly expenses? I've turned to freelancing and now I'm picking up a part-time job to make up the difference. Honestly, it's kind of freeing being able to work my own schedule and choose my own projects to an extent. If you're in the same boat piecing things together, how's it working for you?

Yep, me! Freelancing definitely gives you flexibility, and picking up a part-time job can help fill the gaps. It’s tough but also empowering to control your schedule and projects. For me, it’s been a balance of staying organized and finding time for self-care. How’s it working out for you?

Yes, same here. I’m juggling a contract gig, some freelance writing, and retail hours on the weekend. It’s not easy, but I do like the flexibility and the sense that I’m not tied to just one paycheck. Still figuring out how to make it sustainable long term.

I'm old-fashioned about quaint things like observing conflict of interest rules. The last thing I need is any trouble of that nature. I live well within my means, so it's not really an issue. Years ago I would pick up extra money helping a friend with their business, and having a job and a half wasn't for me. Even if I could do it without having ethical conflicts I'd steer clear of it.

You learn a lot along the way and you're getting paid! I'd totally recommend it and see all of these things as life experiences. I've done up to 3 jobs at the same time (I was not a student).

Anyone have a good online calculator or way to adjust their W-4 towards the end of the year so they don’t get slammed with a high tax bill? I know I’m too late for 2020, but curious for next year...I got slapped with a 6-figure tax bill last year. 😑 My wife and I made adjustments to our 2020 W-4s, but afraid it wasn’t enough.

Okay. Possibly a stupid question BUT Imma ask anyway.

Can someone just explain how you plan out how much to bill so you can make sure it’s not a mad scramble at the end of year? I’m moving from a firm where I was lacking in any kind of mentorship. No one ever just sat down and explained the most efficient way to track/measure your hours to confirm that you are on track.

If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
