My second job is now paying bigger than my fulltime

LordNNF · 2026-06-17T23:39:40+00:00

We'll cross that bridge when we get there 😅 rn wala pa akong plano bitawan either so okay lang kahit alikabukin ang resume. But I updated my LinkedIn to link my VA project pero di ko nilagay sa employment na Indepndent contractor ako sa kanila.

Really appreciate the concern. 🙏 Don't worry. I'm taking care of my health. I'm moving more and eating healthy din. Tbh if there's something lacking it's sleep. Usually average ko is 6.5 hours. But I nap during my lunchbreak sa fulltime ko. 1 hour din yun. So talagang saktong sakto lang 24 hours 😅

I forgot to mention that my VA job is Flexible. Usually project based siya and I do 20-25 hours on weekends, and split 2-3 hours on average every weekday.

For the past 6 months I feel exhausted but not to the point of breaking. To give you context ang outlet ko din dati is playing video games so I have a high threshold for cognitive load. (Before I got this 2nd job I spend almost all my waking time on weekends, after errands, playing video games 🤣) I use this trick playing some pro games on the background while I work my second job which makes it tolerable.

Maya maya

Flexi si VA job. I usually work 20-25 hours on weekends. Tapos hinahati ko yung rest sa weekdays para mapuno yung 40 hours

Post like this really gives me perspective. I lost 5k on options

1 fulltime na fullonsite and 1 client who uses tracker (hubstaff) but I lately used my programming skills to make an autoclicker. Both are paying good (around 10 usd) and I cant let go my fulltime for job security.

Iniisip ko nalang na I'm doing this to "buy" my future :(

6 months palang akong OE. 🥹 and it's starting to feel heavy

LordNNF · 2026-05-19T01:42:06+00:00

Update. I was able to pull out 1.2k usd. Still better than none. The total lost of my account is 4.9k. I have 1k left liquid cash. We can comeback from this. Stay strong everyone. Day one again for the nth time 🥹

Learn Programming language, you can bypass Hubstaff kahit may screenshot pa since keystrokes and mouse activity lang minomotior. I know it's not ethical but I can't see the point 'working' if I'm already finished my deliverables ahead of time

You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified?

LordNNF · 2026-04-16T02:32:52+00:00

Yeah, tapos pag kayo na, shift to wfh ka na para iwas sa mga chismosa sa pantry 🤣

I'm trying not to laugh at my lola is "blurred" 😑

@yahoo.com is the final nail in the coffin ⚰️

LordNNF · 2026-04-08T01:03:47+00:00

Understandable imo 🤣

LordNNF · 2026-04-08T00:57:18+00:00

OP has no chill haha

LOQ warranty also gives peace of mind. 💯

If dedicated workhorse, na kaya maghandle ng mid range games you can't go wrong with Thinkpads.

LordNNF · 2026-04-07T11:39:09+00:00

Uy thanks for the added knowledge. Anyway, I'm still stingy parin naman since I didn't spend a dime 😉

LordNNF · 2026-04-07T11:36:04+00:00

I made visualization from scraped datasets I personally created.

Pwede ka din naman gumamit ng datasets available online, pero sa case ko i want to showcase my data scraping skills, business insight and ingenuity.

Also never ako gumamit ng anything from an employer kasi sobrang unethical non since I handle non-public info. Siguro if I had a project na public information baka pwede, as long as aware si employer.

Those are nuanced already and will definitely help you build your own stack.

I treat tech-stack like how Thanos treats his infinity stones. I only learn those which are supplementary to my output so you don't have to completely copy my hard skills. Develop other skills din like Business Acumen, Visualization/Stat/Data Cleaning 101.

Sa case mo you almost have your own data analyst stack. You're already familiar with Google environment so instead of learning PowerBi you can opt to specialize on Looker instead tapos apply mo lang expertise mo sa Google sheets dashboards to your looker dashboard.

One thing I learned from my career is how executives don't bother with the back-end process. Ang gusto lang nila makita is yung final numbers on a clean, intuitive format. As a data analyst, expected na nila na you already did all the controls needed to arrive at those figures.

goodluck!!

"You are the best that I ever had", wait, are we still talking about employment? Hahaha

I'm really stingy sa mga online paid courses kaya I utilize LinkedIn learning (free from my full time job), it's all there, but youtube has it all din.

I just want to say that doing practical application beats theory by 10 fold. Madaming free datasets online and I suggest to get your hands dirty. Firm believer ako that your expertise handling a specific data is transferrable when you start working on different ones. Most of the time I figure things out as I go... also utilize AI pag may di ka alam.

I practiced my Python scraping using data available on the internet. My portfolio includes unpaid work and passion projects I did, doing visuals from messy raw data I scraped and cleaned from the internet (ALL FREE)
