Update to outsourcing jobs for $4/hour

Found a contract gig & going to try to moonlight other gigs as well for SDR.

Numbers:

$ Invested: $320/month * 4 months = $1280

New opportunity netted = $26.50/hour

Payback period = 49 hours to pay that back aka 2 biz weeks.

She's also applying to other jobs for me on Upwork and hopefully will be able to outsource most of that SDR job.

Wouldn't say it's a bad use of funds! Learned a lot and can leverage her labor to other people.

That's next-level delegation, chief. Are you going to handle the contract gig personally, or just outsource it for $20/hour and pocket the $6.50/hour difference for... well, overseeing things?

First gonna get a feel for it and do it myself and then outsource most of it. Its crazyyyyy what AI can do ;)
If it's all email/Linkedin stuff, then I'm gonna outsource it.

If you keep this up, you might just start an agency! @SADNESSLieutenant , if you're still active, didn't you do something similar?

While I admire your ingenuity, long term is this helping you advance your career? Are you gaining the skills you'll need to move into a more lucrative position? And most importantly, when you get found out, what's your backup plan?

This is just to build up my bank roll again. Still actively interviewing for MM AE jobs but market's tough.
Def not a long term solution, but figure can use these skills in any job I have

That's absolutely fair. You gotta provide for yourself. Times are tough.

I appreciate your creativity but will it help you advance your career in the long run? Are you gaining the skills you need to move into more lucrative positions? Most importantly if you get caught what is your backup plan?
