I don't want it to be easily found the stories only for those who exhausts themselves searching...why you ask? because I invited plenty of my co-workers into Bravado and last thing I want them to do is find out about this...
Advise to my fellow savages...
So I starting testing my 1st employer with a "fake" 2nd job guess what was it in? Real Estate...so they didn't do anything about it and upon reviewing my contract I was reminded that I am in the end of the day a contractor/consultant so as long as I don't take my talents to the competition and the results are going in no one has the right to do anything...So I was emboldened.
Personal network from my previous industry reached out and asked that I join...I said im want to be part-time they said no, I was like ok full-time but you know as a contractor I'm not obligated to anything but not working to competitors and so was mentioned in the contract. there was the annex about working 9-5 im like sure they mailed the laptop and I open it on time.
Close call I almost had a conflict on the weekly meeting for a demo. Luckily managed to move the demo around...and will have the weekly meeting.
Good thing about 2nd job: monthly targets better base pay
Bad thing: shitty accounts to work with and kind of a scrappy company so needs some effort to build a reputation.
Another plus is that it seems the "head" is working another job with clear like I start work midday. He mentioned I'm like you have two jobs...didn't fall for the trap of confirming or denying just maintained that I'm not allowed to announce that I work for you guys because of my previous employer (not the one I'm juggling the time with - but their competitor) so they respected that and they are not active on Linkedin and the industry itself isn't really a linkedin one except for recruitment.
Most of the WR wins would be from my AE job. not from the AM one.
Why did I take this risk? well I asked my dad who is also a lawyer he was like why not? better take it an double your income than living with "what ifs" and honestly thank the Lord I did. I feel like there is a buffer of extra cash that being just married I totally needed it.
Advise to everyone: if you do this keep it to yourself like literally even my wife doesn't know...the only one who knows are you guys and my dad because he is my lawyer.
How do I explain two laptops? 1 for work and 1 for backup I never leave shit to chance.
