Do you have a side hustle?

Question

I've heard of people having two wfh jobs at the same time. I don't see how thats possible for some roles but curious if you guys have considered it.

I have tried it on a contract basis while having a full-time role. It was not easy but it is doable depending on the circumstances. The project I managed on the side was local and since I wfh, I was able to take meetings on the road as I visited the client which was once a week. The contract was only 4 months and very specific.

Fractional CXO's basically do the same thing so I could see it being possible. Admin and like project-based roles I could also see being able to do it.

For devs, I wouldn't recommend. To me, thats just too much work.

Have a full time job that mostly wfh and occasionally pick up contract work of different complexity on the side. As long as tasks are clearly defined, deadlines are realistic and you know what to do, it is doable overall. It always takes lot of time though and sometimes feels like you only work all days.

Yeah I think the second comment is correct from my own experience. If you’re in a management/consulting role as a side hustle it can work very well, otherwise I think it would have a heavy toll on the other aspects of your life. Including my commute I spend  10h a day at work, can’t really imagine drumming up any more enthusiasm for extra work
