Hi all,

Just wondering what can be some other source of income apart from your current job specifically for Software tester/Test engineer?
Is there any way that I can earn some extra money by using my testing skills so that I shouldn't rely just on my monthly salary?

Not more work but investments should be your 2ndry source of income always.
Try to learn share market, do some courses in that. Many of my friends got so into it that they left their main job and made this a full time thing.
If you dont have time, make some risky investment which require low efforts but can give high returns like mutual funds or blue chips stocks.
Dont try to do extra work on the same skill, diversify your skill sets as well.

Worst advice ever. Never ever do F&O trading.

Those who entered in 2020, will pack up mostly in 2022/2023.. Markets will take everything out of them, their entire life savings.

6 of my colleagues did F&O from 2020 fall.. They made lakhs (20-30L ) and lost 50-60L after budget 2021 consolidation.

Put up a course and teach others what you are good at. You could try making material for freshers on new tech or any area of your competence and expertise. Lot of demand for that these days.

There's websites which offer money for testing their clients products, like "user testing" dot com

I tried that bt it seems that they are not entertaining people from India... Because it's not allowing me to proceed further

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:

2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager. I would’ve jumped on this opportunity if they asked me before. However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?
