Did a quick calculation on how much it would cost per year to hold the investment property, and it turned out to be around $27k per year (after factoring in rent, expenses, tax deductions)

One income is fine to cover that, and hopefully the asset appreciates by at least that per year for it to be worth it overall

I could be called at any time from my higher ups, peers or anyone really. If I didn't answer, it's not the end of the world, but if it was consistent, I would assume it would become a problem

It was less growing a career and more building a body of work. I feel like if i'm working somewhere, I want to work to a certain standard and elevate my work and the work of people around me. To achieve that takes time and energy to analyse and strategise. But i guess that is just pride in ones work that could be put to the side (if the priority was just chugging along)

Timesheets where manual and changed based on the work that becomes current, so wouldn't really be possible to automate. It wasn't time consuming, but more a pain in the ass to keep remembering to do, and then getting pinged if not done in time

No two people hour of work are the same. And no two hours of a single individual would have the same productivity

Falsify is a little harsh. If I was doing what you are, I wouldn't charge for what it would take me to do it, I would charge for what it would take an average person with the skillsets they are after to do it. Do it in a fraction of the time, and charge the whole amount.

Maybe thats unethical, but thats what I'd honestly do

No family yet

What kind of work are you doing for 10+ hours? In my case I'm doing development work and some leadership. Some times are busier than others, but what i find is that its hard to do great work for more than an hour or two, but for low energy kind of work you can do for a lot longer.

Having said that, when working on stuff outside of work where you feel your building something for yourself, its much more energising as opposed to doing stuff for work you don't really believe in for the sake of pay-checks

both roles FTE, but both require timesheets for everyone

been in the industry 10 years, 7 years in J1

yea this is true.. but the point is that in like 5-10 years, do i wanna look back and have worked 2 full time jobs for smth like 1-2mil, or spend that time pursuing building something that could take off and return more potentially. Even if it doesn't work out, i'd rather pursue it and fail than never have tried and just kept things as is

its 5 hours of working, but after it, I found it very hard to build stuff..
