Do you take on part time tech projects while already working a full time job? I have often wondered how professionals balance additional tech gigs alongside regular work responsibilities, especially when both demand focus and energy. The extra income and experience can be valuable, but managing deadlines across multiple commitments can quickly become challenging. For those doing both, how do you manage your workload without burning out?

Getting a full-time tech gig has been a challenge for the past 6 months of unemployment, I don't think that work is falling out of the skies for many of us.

I do agree, but we still need to keep trying.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?
