Spent the day training for job #2 rather than enjoying sunshine and fresh air. Was it worth it? Yes!

Is it worth it to trade personal time for training to advance in your additional employment or in pursuit of additional employment?

If not, what would you do differently and still be overemployed?

I think it's worth it, provided it's a temporary situation for a specific financial goal that can be achieved through OE.

Otherwise, nope. No one likes on their death bed and says “geez, I wish I got less fresh air and more training!” lol.

That is a great perspective - to imagine the overemployment as adding to skills temporarily, rather than a lifetime achievement.

As a GC holder I’m planning to travel abroad for 2,5months starting late September.

Is this going to jeopardize my resident status? Can I go without a lease?

Hello Société Générale folks,

Looking for some honest advice. Considering an offer with SocGen B’lore for Specialist Software Engineer position with 5.5 years exp and into Tech service management. Could you please tell me a bit about following points?

- I see 25% of the compensation(5Lakhs) is Variable. Does company even pay 60% of it at the end of the year if you perform say 4/5 rating?
- What is an average annual hike that the firm gives?
- How is the work culture? Societe Generale

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

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?
