Quit my job?
I prayed istikhara about this.
I got a second job(non-consulting job) making less than half then what I make at my main job.
main reasons:
AstaghfurAllah, I took out a lot of student loans, and I wouldn’t be able to afford my life already living paycheck to paycheck on top of the 1K a month loan payment.
2. Layoffs are happening at my employer regularly, and I wanted to have a backup.

Issues with second job
micromanagmement
Improper training

Between both jobs, I now work 7 days a week. I was told upon being hired at my second job that I would have at least one weekend day off Sat or Sun.
Alhumdulillah - I am no longer living check to check, but idk if I can live my life like this.

Seeking naseeha as to whether i should quit my second job?

May Allah facilitate a way for you to pay it off fast, if it’s interest bearing - you should ideally do what you must to get rid of it fast. Ask Allah exactly what you need and increase daily remembrance like istighfar. I was burdened with it and honestly wasn’t able to pay it off until I asked Allah for a way out.

Do you have a family? Wife kids? If not, keep working but try to create some work life balance so you don’t overwork yourself.

I am working 2 jobs. So between both jobs I am working 8-9 during the week then 2 8 hour weekend shifts

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
