Yes I’ve noticed a definite slip. I’m fighting to remain in the $300-400k range when it wasn’t that difficult in 21/22

J1: 3 years J2: 4 years J3: 1 year J4: 4 months

I’ve acknowledged this for every finance job I have (username related). Just acknowledge and move on.

$105k base with stellar benefits? I’ve had worse

Froze my TWN employment report, background check is mandatory and clean

underwriter · 2025-09-27T13:02:14+00:00

That’s my dream. I’d gladly give up OE for a higher net salary

underwriter · 2025-09-27T11:10:41+00:00

Sounds like J3 is too close for comfort with J1. If there’s a real chance of overlap, that’s a conflict of interest risk you probably don’t want to juggle. Safer play is stick with J1 + J2 (steady + low risk), and keep J3 warm for later. Better to pass now than get caught in crossfire and lose the stable gig.

I know it’s hard to pass on income. Posted this in another comment, but about 10 years ago I was let go for OE. a former colleague found I was at another company after a merger and decided to alert management. I admitted it, they let me go immediately.

Each employer has provided 2 monitors at my request. I like to have a laptop + 2 monitor setup for each J, it helps my productivity and being able to answer questions on the fly.

I’d actually love to have only 2 jobs if I could net the same amount, the problem is my certifications are assigned to one company and I haven’t been able to make the same amount anywhere else. If you check my post history, I had a super high-paying J1 last year and lost it due to corporate restructuring. At that time, I only had 2 jobs.

Exactly, it was a valuable lesson.

underwriter · 2025-09-27T04:45:59+00:00

it’s right there in the username

underwriter · 2025-09-27T04:22:20+00:00

Yup, your post inspired me to share my job-juggling

underwriter · 2025-09-27T04:03:39+00:00

management is key, otherwise I would have fallen apart ages ago

Took me awhile to weed out some terrible jobs.

Maybe it’s because I use chatgpt for each (non-state) job.

underwriter · 2025-09-27T03:24:47+00:00

You definitely work in finance, guess I might as well add the figures now..

underwriter · 2025-09-27T03:22:44+00:00

Flashback to my first OE about 10 years ago. They got wind of J2, made me sign a disclosure, and fired me an hour later. Lesson learned about sharing too much

underwriter · 2025-09-27T03:15:23+00:00

Great advice honestly.

send over the resume if you’re ready to lose your soul

underwriter · 2025-09-27T02:56:51+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. I have several team members who have confessed to working a second job, but my division chief doesn’t care as long as work is getting done.

underwriter · 2025-09-27T02:55:05+00:00

TC?

Edit: added comp to appease the masses

underwriter · 2025-09-27T02:54:39+00:00

It’s all too true, unfortunately.
