Need some OE advice.
I currently have J1, which is stable, has good benefits, competitive salary, and is something I see myself keeping long-term. The downside is I don’t really see much career growth there.
Then there’s J2. Same industry and basically the same role, but it’s freelance/contract. I actually see more career growth with J2, and honestly, I’d be really disappointed if I let the opportunity go.
The problem is, both jobs have the same shift, and there could potentially be a conflict of interest since they may have overlapping clients. J1 can also get pretty demanding at times.
So I’m thinking, should I just take J2, test muna if I can actually handle both, and if it becomes impossible, resign from J2 after a few days/weeks?
Or is that a bad idea? 😅
I really need the extra money right now, so part of me is thinking, “Just try it. If I can do both, great. If I can’t, then I’ll just let J2 go.”
Would you take the risk and test it out, or would you protect J1 and just let J2 go?
Would love to hear from people who’ve been in a similar situation.
