I’m 30 and I make $165k in a MCOL area, but I am trying to find a way to double that number without RSUs etc.
I think I can do better, so I’m trying to map some paths out.
My employment contract doesn’t disallow a second job, but I don’t think I’d announce this straight away.
I have a good relationship with my current employer.. I don’t think they’d care as long as I wasn’t working for a competitor.
- giantg2 4y agoI'm in a MCOL making half that and maybe got 16% cumulative over the past 5-6 years. Seems like you're doing well. You might want to look for a higher tier remote job. My second job one year was Lowes for $10/hr
- overrun11 4y agoWhy not RSUs? You're going to find it hard to get a job making more than ~220ish in base salary but with RSUs the sky is the limit (although right now it is much harder to score one of these jobs than normal)
- itake 4y agoI've worked two jobs and you get diminishing returns. Yes, at the end of the year you have more money, but the cost of a second job is way higher than than one job. From a benefits' standpoint: you only get one 401k and one health insurance plan. From a personal health standpoint: you have to outsource more of your life. You won't have time to go to cook healthy food for yourself or socialize with friends. Tread lightly.
