If you had to choose an option of finding a second job or overcommitting to one job, what direction would you choose? Times are a bit tough and am trying to see if it is more worthwhile to pick up a side gig to cover my shortfall or commit to 20 more hours a week at my current contract which I really do not want to do. Any perspectives are helpful.

Appreciate it

With a choice like that, I'd probably go with the devil I know. Having to deal with adjusting to a different job on top of my "real" job would probably be difficult. Plus, side gigs are risky, they can be seen as a conflict of interest and so on. Just grinding out more where you are might be the better course, even if you find it distasteful.

Makes sense, thanks

If I could get overtime at my job, that is what I would do. I am good at it and I know what I am doing. It seems like most of these side hustles don't pay well anyhow.

Yeah, I’ve gotten lucky it seems

No brainer. Commit 20 more hours to the job you already have where you know you will make money. The other options are just gambling, better to just go to the casino.

Casino seems interesting though…
