What things should I consider before getting a part time job?
Currently, I have a full-time job. Good working environment naman siya at yung salary ay enough to sustain my current lifestyle.
Pero I am thinking ahead na kasi. The part-time job is to save for what I want in the future, such as getting my own house, additional retirement savings, and investments.
Ngayon, I’m working in a company na 8 hours a day lang, and no OT. Di rin ako palagala so marami akong free time.
So far, eto yung mga naconsider ko:
Health - get healthier para di manibago ang katawan sa pagjuggle ng 2 different jobs. Examples:
- Ayusin ang body clock at insomnia issues
- Maintain a habit of 1hr daily exercises for better stamina
- Healthy eating habits
Company contract - make sure wala akong nalabag sa contract, so I reviewed it.
- My part-time should NOT be with a company within the same industry
- Nothing in my contract states that I am not allowed to do part-time with the same job title. But to be safe, I will get a job that is similar but uses a different tool. (For example, I use selenium in my fulltime job, so I will use playwright in my parttime).
Tax - dito ako stuck kasi di ko alam ano processes nito, kung ako ba mismo magfafile ng tax sa parttime. (I know the govt is corrupt but I don’t want to evade any taxes kahit na obvious na ninanakawan ako.)
My goal is to get one next year but I want to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Advices from you guys is very much appreciated. 🙏
