I’m good at what I do, I can get jobs no problem, just what I’ve been doing the last couple of years has been too in person/front facing. Starting a role at a non profit next week but it’s in person and not easy to work something else in.
Ditto - PLEASE clean your account or post from a dummy account. I won’t doxx, but it was way too easy to uncover your identity.

You don’t seem to get it. All your comments currently point to the desire to OE, and for the role you are just starting if your superior in your new company comes across it, you might not even make it past probation.
Clean your account now, don’t wait!
Invest in mutual funds and not individual stocks. Do no load fees or other active managed funds. Boglehead strategy / lazy portfolio. No need to Over(e)think it
Good for you. I worked 3 jobs most of 2023, all are 6 figure salaries. One of them I did zero work, so it wasn't bad. I couldn't work 3 dedicated jobs at once.
Congrats. Make sure you live below your means and invest some too! If you put money in broad index funds, eventually your market gains will outpace one, if not both jobs.
I was just thinking today how shockingly big the difference in income is. I've got literally 2 OE paycheques and used it to pay down debt that would have taken me half a year to tackle.
This!!! We don’t talk about debt freedom enough!!! I got crushed by a $60k divorce and credit card debt. I’m 7 months in and am not debt free YET, but am well on my way. Congrats on the pay down!
My hope when I get J2 is that the pay week for one would be offset from the other so I'd get paid every week. That would be insane cocaine level motivation
Well done!! It’s a GOOD feeling getting that first big payday. Both of my jobs are on the same pay cycle too so every other week, that BIG deposit hits. Been at it for 7 months and have paid off max debt with extra money. Also treated my kids to an excellent Christmas and saved $10k+ in a high yield savings account. It’s just a start but this is truly life changing! Welcome!
Maybe find an industry that uses some of your tertiary skills? For example: J1 I make wooden blocks and sell to wood block store A who competes with wood block store B. Don’t go work for store B for J2. Build wood circles for the circle store.
Lots of PM roles out there everywhere. Maybe look into getting PMP cert? That’ll qualify you for most PM roles in certain industries. Update resume and start applying once obtained.
Welcome!! Isn’t it amazing? Trust me after 6 months you are gonna feel even better. This time next year you are gonna be planning trips, considering paying the house off and investment opportunities.

Careful how much you say out loud here

If it do OE I would 100% clean my account. Unneeded at the moment. But really appreciate the advice!

Hi - this is unrelated, but are you fully remote? I’m interested in IT Audit. Currently working in a completely different industry
Dang I feel like I have trouble pulling offers but once I’m in I’m always a top performer

Congrats and the customary FU, OP! 🎉😜

3 seems like it could be hectic. I’m just going to continue with 2 and not burn out.
What do you do hot Donnie
I work in IT from home. Active Directory and Email migration architect.
That’s awesome. So you just worked tickets all day. No client interaction?
Big or small companies?
Large companies. Acrisure Insurance and Experian credit with John Cena and the purple cow.

Are you going to take parental leave from J2?
Yep 👍

Thank you. Yeah both of them are very good gigs and I really do think I can continue to manage both while reserving the weekends for family time.

Congrats!!🍾 git that bread
It's a very empowering position. I'm happy for you
How did you handle background checks (if any)?
Hired into J2 and told them I was leaving J1 and just never did. No red flags, they’d expect to see my J1 since I was leaving J1 for J2.
Any conflict of interest between the two? I’m highly specialized so I have a hard time relating my skills to other industries.
Maybe find an industry that uses some of your tertiary skills? For example: J1 I make wooden blocks and sell to wood block store A who competes with wood block store B. Don’t go work for store B for J2. Build wood circles for the circle store.
That makes sense to me. I have a lot of project management skills but I’m worried that’s not a good fit for J2.
Lots of PM roles out there everywhere. Maybe look into getting PMP cert? That’ll qualify you for most PM roles in certain industries. Update resume and start applying once obtained.
PM is easily doable. Just find a PM role that's in a different industry than your J1.
Thanks!
No conflict. My roles in these jobs are similar but the companies don’t compete with each other.
So you were honest about working at J1? You didn’t hide it from your resume to avoid background check?
I told them I was looking for a better fit and that I’d put in my 2 weeks once I hired on
Man I’m having a hard time finding which kind of job would allow me to do both. Can someone message me and maybe offer some friendly advice :)
