Would you take this job?

[DaWhim]

do u have a family? if yes, then dont do it. but for a few months, i think it would be okay. ask your wife. otherwise, definitely.

 

[CraigRT]

God yes, I work a part time job that pays the normal grunt wage and it helps out, so for $100 per hour, helllllll yes.

 

[Macamus Prime]

Only if it didn't take more than 30 minutes to get to each job. Otherwise, I end up killing myself getting to each job and home for JUST enough sleep.

 

[Exterous]

Yes I would do it. The additional money would definately be nice. Thats - what, around $1500 extra a month after taxes?

 

[torpid]

Not if it required me to continue full time at my current position. I don't thrive in that kind of work/life balance. My performance at my main job would suffer and I'd be a physical and mental wreck if I basically had no free time during the week.

You're kidding right? You wouldn't take a part time job that pays 125k a year? Sure..

Sure, you'd make a lot of extra money on the side but at the expense of nearly all your free time, a lot of added stress, and less sleep.

Money isn't everything.

Work a year or two of it and retire 10 years earlier than you had planned. Talk about more free time!

Yes money isn't everything, but it takes money to never have to work again!

 

[Specop 007]

Do you want an extra 3 grand a week?

 

[Apple Of Sodom]

Yes, do it. If anything it could turn into a long-term contract position/open doors to new opportunities. You should do it for the future you.

 

[lord_emperor]

I'd quit the first job and just work the second.

This.

It does, but it is also foolish to completely sacrifice your younger years JUST so you can retire a few years early IMO.

But, with that being said, I'd take this one since it is a 3 month contract. If it were going to last much longer, I'd probably just quit my primary job and take this one.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

for 3 months, hell yea id do it.

 

[evident]

i'd do that for a year or two easy.

 

[classy]

let's say you have a full-time 9-5 job. would you moonlight a 2nd job from 6-11pm if the job paid $100/hr?

Yes if its just Monday through Friday. And it depends on what the second job is.

 

[torpid]

You're kidding right? You wouldn't take a part time job that pays 125k a year? Sure..

Not quite what I said. I wouldn't want to have BOTH my current job and the new job. I would probably take it and stop my current job. That would be marginally more than what I make now (if you include benefits). I wouldn't keep my current job AND the new job.

However, given that the OP clarified the short-term nature of it, I would consider doing both for a short period of time.

 

[Imp]

In a second, it's not like a have a life (seriously...)!

Depends on what that 5 hours is... That's prime "escort" time, especially at that rate.

 

[ElFenix]

i don't really do anything useful during those hours anyway so... yes
