Do you think having a side income actually makes you better at your main job because you’re less stressed about money, or does it end up competing for your time and focus?

I think it makes me a little bolder in the workplace because I know I have something to fall back on if they end up firing me. So I have stronger opinions and I stick to my boundaries a bit better than others. And weirdly enough, I think people respect me more because of it.

When people tell me they have a side hustle, I fully respect it and am happy for them as well!

I think nowadays you need to prioritize your needs first above all else. Do the job that you are paid to do and if you have extra energy, invest it in yourself. Could be training or a side hustle. Loyalty to employees is dead and job hopping is how you get ahead. Investing extra effort in your own skills is how you keep doors open

I think it really depends what your primary job is on the first place. If it’s a job that only requires you to be attentive for a specific time then it’s fine to have an extra job. If it’s something that isn’t time-bound and you find yourself working on it during the early mornings or late evenings, an extra job isn’t practical.

It makes me better at work. When I have something I'm working on in my spare time, my brain is more active and engaged. I find that energy carries over into my day job as well.

Do you think having a mistress actually makes you better at being a husband 🤔

Did anyone sign an employment application/contract agreeing to follow all firm policies which includes not having a 2nd job or moonlighting? Read your contract!

I have quite a few different income streams and it definitely makes it easier to be riskier with my job, meaning asking for raises more, not working late on a regular basis, etc because I know I have something to fall back on.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
