Has anyone gotten a second job significantly under their current pay grade? Ideally I’d like a junior position that only pays like $47k that I can easily do rather than a job at my same level where I’d have to put in more time/effort

I’ve done it. Got a second job paying only 85k. My strategy was to explain to the recruiter that you are targeting a new niche or focusing in on one area and are not as concerned about salary as you are with gaining new experience. The recruiter ate it up when I told him that.

Smart! I have to use that. It sounds so much better than what I’ve been saying - looking for something 100 % remote.

Oooh. Following.

I think that is the goal. U want to find a second job that you really don’t care about and will not add too much stress. You’re doing it just for the extra income.

Keep searching for a j2 that pays at least what you’re making now, but simply be pickier about what your willing to do.

I’m finding that when you can be picky, you can find a J2 that has a fraction of the load, where you do only what you want to do.

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
