I’m basically doing the same thing as most of the people in that viral 2 jobs article. I have 1.5 jobs across two agencies and it rules. I make $$$$ from the 0.5 agency job while my 1.0 has creative opportunities at a big shop. I even occasionally take on other projects. And for the most part, I log off at normal hours and don’t work all weekend.

Whenever someone books something on my calendar, I just go to the other job and create a cal invite for that time that’s labelled “booked”. People normally respect it and if they don’t I just ask if they can move it. I also have lunch booked off. It helps that both jobs are on opposite coasts and I live in the middle.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
