Dude just called and asked if I could upgrade his desktop PC's hard drive to a solid state without losing any of his data or having to reinstall some programs.​

No problem......​

I’m a Director of Client Development for a Consulting firm for my full time job. My salary is great, and I work from home. A few weeks ago, someone I know put me onto a recruiting company out of Chicago that was offering part time remote jobs involving calling up potential job candidates, and setting them up for interviews with employers. It’s a really easy gig that I can do nights and weekends. It pays pretty well too for a part time position. I’m hoping to get my total salary next year for both roles between $175-200K. This will allow me to pay off my student loans and invest.

Y’all going pass the plugs or nah ?

I been on this wave. With two jobs I’m working less than I did with one.

You got a link for that?

where’d you apply for that temp position?

It's not a temp role. It's a full remote job directly through coinbase.

Goto indeed and type customer support analyst for coinbase.

My boy is doing this and one of his 2 gigs pays low 6-figs. Personally I think it's risky but he's been behind the 8-ball financially (toxic BM & child support) so I can understand where the effort comes from.

I’ve been doing this for about 5 years now. At one point I was doing 3 jobs. It was too much and I was working all day and night to keep up.

Background checks don’t reveal anything outside of criminal history so there are really only three ways to fukk it up…

1. The most important thing is to keep up with calendar management. If you can keep meetings from conflicting then you are pretty much set. One time I was doing a contract side gig for Verizon and while on a meeting with the entire team I was on another call with my primary job. My dumb ass wasn’t on mute with Verizon and was talking to my other job explaining something. shyt was mad awkward, because they heard everything. I tried to pretend I was talking to my bro in law or something stupid like that. I ended up just quitting that one like a week later lol.

2. LinkedIn will get you caught up. I now work for two large companies, and I have like 40 pending friend requests. I have my profile completely private outside of my picture and a generic job title….”Solutions Architect”. When I took on a role with my latest company, they have very strict social media requirements and you will literally have a hundred people requesting you add them almost immediately. I ended up removing everyone from my other job and setting my profile to private. I updated my job history to reflect what the new company expects it to look like and we are gucci. If anyone from my other job hits me up or asks me about LinkedIn I say…”oh I stopped using that years ago, I’ll add you once I log in again and look at it.” And I never add them.

3. they have to be fully remote and your team can’t be local or even remotely close to you. I fukked up and was working for a partner and vendor at the same time a while back, turns out my boss on the partner side knew literally everyone in the state that worked at my other company. He started trying to hook me up with people thinking he’s helping me network. These were muthafukkas I work with regularly at the other job. Ended up dumping the vendor job because they were overlapping too much. Now I work for another big tech company and a financial company, they have absolutely no overlap and life is good.

Pls if you can do. When did you start? I’ve interviewed with Robert half in the past.

It was supposed to start October 25th but here we are and still technically didn’t start to work. I’m going to ask if they still need people. Also you live in Maryland right? Imma see if they can still bring you on since it’s remote
