Work for (almost) two rates

Question

coworking

The first three months of the next I will have to work in two jobs: telecommuting (from home) 6 hours a day and teaching at the university (6 hours a day on average, but unevenly distributed over three months). I would be very grateful to hear any advice or just my own experience.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Take care of your health.

Answer 2

Work while you are young, while it is new and exciting for you, while there is enough enthusiasm, while there is traction. In short, go ahead as long as it doesn't bother you. It is better to acquire such valuable experience now, because closer to 30 years, such heroism usually disappears. ;)

Answer 3

What exactly are you interested in?
Is it hard to work two jobs? Yes, it's hard.
Although you have a relatively gentle schedule, it may not be so hard. I worked 5 days, 8 hours a day at one job + several night shifts a week at another for almost a year. I also managed to appear at the university with such a schedule (I studied in my last year). It was very exhausting. After working in the day + night mode (most often, I still managed to sleep in snatches of 3-4 hours) + the day I came home completely dead. As a result, he quit his day job: he had to complete his diploma, and with such a rhythm, there could be no talk of normal fruitful work even on a diploma.
Is it worth it to mock yourself like that? Depends on the situation.
Personally, I do not regret that I mocked myself like that. In addition, my motivation was very strong. However, I am not ready for such a feat a second time.

Answer 4

look for a job for one rate, but for the money for two.
it's better to get 70 in one place than 35 in two

Answer 5

to lesha_penguin "by the age of 30, such heroism usually disappears"
Well, that's not true! Don't scare! I'm over 30 (although not much more), but I work two jobs, even 3 you can say. And I can quit the second and third, because I am the owner of the first. I can’t say that I’m buying a new wardrobe, because the loot doesn’t fit in the old one, but it’s no problem to live.
The question is still in interest, motivation, etc. I'm interested. There is enthusiasm. There is only no sleep, or rather time for it ... but these are trifles. Therefore:
freetonik , with your schedule, the second job will not be much of a burden. It's my opinion. And the experience will definitely be positive. Also, in addition to all this, it will allow you to internally gain time management skills. The main thing is interest!

Answer 6

> teaching at the university (6 hours a day on average
. Think about this carefully.
Because if you take this seriously, then this is 6 hours at the university + 3 hours at home to prepare for classes.
And if you don’t take it seriously (follow the laboratory what if you don’t spoil and answer questions) or replace someone where they put you (and you don’t need to prepare, you say what you know or from a book), then these 6 hours in general are not really work, it’s more like a vacation.
The difference is catastrophic.

Answer 7

Personally, I barely have enough for two jobs for 4 hours a day. In fact, I've been sitting here all this time. I get up, do minimal exercises and go back to work.

Answer 8

hard physically, but maybe
I was able to work out 8 + 4 (main and remote evening-night) for one and a half to two months, my
sexual life began to decline.

Answer 9

From my experience I will say:
1. You will not have a personal life
2. Although it is difficult to work (very exhausting mentally), it is quite possible, especially if you receive money)
3. I constantly do not get enough sleep (I work in the office 8 hours + at home 3-4 hours)
4. If you work at home every day, stop eating regularly
AND similar things (swim, walk with friends, walk the dog, shave, go shopping for all this, there is very little time left and you will have to not do all this at once, but choose from this only the most important actions at the moment)

Answer 10

Also personal experience:
1. I work in an educational institution as an electronic engineer (1 rate) + laboratory assistant (0.5 rate)
2. From the beginning of this academic year I started teaching (~0.5 rate)
3. I work at home for 2-3 hours
Work with students very interesting, considering that he himself is still a student (studying in absentia), as they say, turned out to be on the other side of the barricades))
Free time is enough for bike rides, playing with Arduino, creating different circuits, and implementing them. I recently started to get into photography.
There is enough time. Although, back to back)
Although, when I get a girlfriend, I will have to change something;)

Answer 11

For the last 10 months I have been working in this mode, I go to my main job, but I do it there for 2-3 hours a day, and the rest of the time I work on my project . Everything is fine with reporting, I manage to fulfill the plan, the main thing is to do the work efficiently, and not “stretch the pleasure”. And I show initiative only for my projects, and at my main job I do it to a minimum. Both me and the authorities are satisfied with this

Answer 12

I study full-time (I go to couples) 4-5 hours. Office work 4 hours. Freelancing at home 3-4 hours
On average 12 hours a day or more.
A little hard. But this is my choice and quite conscious.
So far, there is an opportunity to work like this, because there is nothing else in life other than this.
But time may pass and this will no longer be acceptable.
In your case, realize why you need it and pull it.
If yes, why not.

Answer 13

Guys, thank you so much for your advice and experience!
In general, it is clear that two jobs are harder than one and you have to sacrifice something, but I will try.
The good news (for me) was that I foolishly counted the hours wrong and didn't account for non-school time. In a correct way, it turned out 4.5 hours at the university and 6 hours at a distance, the total is not bad at all. Now I work in the office for 8-9 hours, and when I wrote my diploma in the summer, I stayed for 11-12, so I think we will break through.

Answer 14

He worked like this in his youth for six months. 8-14 and 15-21. In short, I quickly realized that one of them should be abandoned, because ... how to describe it ... it didn’t work out to put my soul into both nichrome, and it’s unrealistic to write code regularly for more than 6 hours a day. If the work would be diverse, I think it would be easier.
And about how hard it is - garbage, there was still time to drink beer in the evening, and the weekend should not be forgotten

Answer 15

I have been working in 2-3 jobs in different floating modes for 10 years already (school, system administration, remote work), I left school for the period of defending my diploma in graduate school, because. it required additional time at home (checks, reports, preparation for classes), and the diploma came on the heels.
Now (8-12) in the office of the admin, an hour or two to have lunch / solve minor issues and get to the institute (14-20)
At the institute, a researcher and also an admin (the bosses are loyal).
Enough time and on their / other people's sites.
Now a girl has appeared, and the verified algorithms are starting to fail.
And if he marries, children ... but that's another story

Answer 16

The situation is similar for evening students: 8 hours at work and 3 hours at the university, and so on for 5-6 years. Withstand. :)

Answer 17

there is no lack of time - there are incorrectly set priorities

Answer 18

Two months is a maximum of two full-times (full-fledged remote projects with rallies, time tracking systems, task trackers, version control systems, etc., etc. + all reporting on business activities and dancing with a tambourine around currency control in banks) then health ceases to be enough . Maybe I've become old, but after such work, when you really plow 16 hours a day and report for every half hour, after 2 months the craving for life disappears and the dergo-eye begins :)
