Side Hustle 🐠

I know this has been asked a million times so I will put a little twist to it. What are the best side hustles for high earners? I am well into my 40s and my job/career pays well (laid off at the moment).

I need to 1-make extra income not tied to my job 2-need an outlet from my career.

I do safe options trading and make decent money. I need more money to make money, ha!

Maybe try getting the next primary job in a firm that pays closer to your goal income - so that you don't have much of a delta to cover with the available time. Since you already do options, Real estate is probably the other passive income strategy to consider

MC1 - I’ve done both with success. Short term is a lot more work. With long term I have a property manager who I trust and let them run the show. Keep it as passive as possible. Down side is you lose a % to them each month but it’s worth it to me.

Curious, OP…what is safe options trading? As in writing calls? Or something else.

Gotcha. Thanks!

I am too ambitious and active for just one job/money source.

Why not focus on a career that pays the desired amount?
Youre less likely to get laid off if you put 100% of your energy into your primary job and become a high achiever as opposed to a mediocre employee thats constantly distracted by their trading and side hustles....

I feel like I have given my employer near 100%. Sometimes it’s not in the cards. I feel like one can give 100% and still not succeed.

I am feeling hopeless. I’m a tax senior been through 4 busy seasons with Deloitte. The tax I’m in is pretty niche and I kinda wanna leave tax all together since I wanna start a family and personally can’t do it with another busy season. I don’t know who is willing to hire me because I feel pigeonholed. I’m just hating every moment with this firm right now. Any advice on what positions/companies might be best to look into?

Thanks everyone.

Is it just me or are there entirely too many people in Business Services, specifically TC’s, who are just folks from client service that don’t want to deal with hours and travel anymore but have no formal training in the Business Services function they transition to? It seems to me very few TC’s are professionals in HR with any background, training or certifications in HR.

Hi Network
Can anyone refer me for a data science role ?

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
