jobless a few months and needed some cash flow, so I signed up for sites like Prolific and even tested a couple AI trading platforms with small amounts. It’s not replacing a salary, but $20 here, $50 there helps with groceries and bills. I’ve noticed people with STEM backgrounds seem to qualify for more studies too. Anyone else stacking side income like this while job hunting?

I have a prolif account too, and often participate in studies, it is more of a pocket money in the side!

Yeah it can be about $20 an hour work during the day. Make sure to fill out your profile!

My side hustles were always on the Creative side like doing Art or making games and websites. Sadly, I am self taught so I cant get a job doing that for the big boys and the only websites I made were for churches and porn sites.

What a resume!

But it proves I can work with a wide variety of people.

Never heard of Prolific, but may look into it today since I need a break from resumes getting ignored.

How often do you actually qualify for studies?

For AI platforms, it’s harder to get into a project. But for survey sites. Daily. I get surveys and studies ranging from 0.20 to 5.00 which can take 2mins to 15mins.

I get it. I have looked at small side streams during uncertain stretches too. It is not glamorous, but grocery money matters. I would just be careful with trading platforms. The psychological cost can outweigh the extra cash.

It’s not trading. Prolific is a survey site for mostly research studies from universities.

There are a lot of ways to easily make 1k/month on the side

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
