Curious if anyone else has a side gig that they are at least somewhat successfully balancing in addition to their full-time position. I feel like I’m drowning and I’m starting to wonder if it’s just me or if others are finding it impossible to make this work.

I recently got a new role with my company wherein I work 9am-6pm instead of the 11am-8pm shift I was working. (I worked it because they paid 8% more). The new role covers that shift differential, but now that I will be working a regular shift, I’m picking up bartending and waitressing on the side. So no, it’s not just you!

Its impossible. I don't know how anyone does it. I feel like I am drowning.

I’m highly disappointed about the fact that whenever I talk to the HR teams or recruiters about joining bonus, they state there’s no provision.

This has happened to me twice now and I’m starting to believe something is wrong in the system or there is some kind of biased against women at certain workplace.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
