More than 8 million Americans work extra hours, second jobs, or side hustles. But as job availability soars and remote work rules, more full-time employees are secretly working two, three, or even more career positions at different companies.

It's a great time to be an employer... Now (perhaps more than ever) companies have access to candidates with specialist skill sets and experience, and to make it ever better, we're in the era of "fractional work" and autonomy. This means that you can now hire experts with little commitment. No need to worry about getting sign off for an expensive permanent hire with benefits, pension contributions and the like. Only need the service for a month? no problem. Only the need the service two days per week? fine. Maybe you need the service for a full year - either way, you're covered. Companies in 2024 have the privilege of being able to hire 'on demand' experts in nearly every discipline imaginable. Are you taking advantage of the fractional workforce? If it's Marketing, Communications, Digital or Creative talent you're in need of, feel free to reach out for a chat. I have access to some of the best fractional marketeers on the market. sam.brimble@emr.co.uk

In 2020, Lisa was making roughly $110,000 working remotely in a corporate manufacturing role, but she wasn't satisfied with her pay. Lisa, who's in her 40s and based in Wisconsin, landed a job offer for a hybrid role in the same industry that paid nearly $150,000 a year, she told Business Insider via email. But she had been hoping for more money. Then her husband had an idea: What if she tried to juggle both jobs at the same time? "Working the two jobs gave us the freedom to let my husband finally leave his job which was so stressful we feared it was literally taking years from his life," said Lisa, whose identity is known to BI — she asked to use a pseudonym because of her fear of professional repercussions. "It's given us a financial cushion that would have been impossible otherwise." Lisa is among the Americans secretly juggling multiple jobs to increase their incomes. Business Insider has interviewed roughly 20 "overemployed" people, many of whom are in the IT and tech industries, who've used the extra money to pay off debt, save for retirement, and afford expensive vacations and weight-loss drugs. While some companies may be OK with their workers having a second gig, doing so without approval could have negative repercussions.

Spoke with a candidate yesterday. They are going to leave their job. Here is why. Joined 2021 Required 1 day per week in the office. Commute: 3 hour round trip Performing. Has flexibility All good May 2024 MD has everyone back in 4 days per week Commute: 12 hours now in total Shattered/Demotivated/Unhappy No flexibility. Nada Not good Seeing this a lot post COVID. Performance drops so let’s blame hybrid working. Give employees a bit of freedom, some flex and balance. A dip in performance isn’t always what it seems. Look closer. Look from within. Dont be like Sir Jim. Cheers 🫡

In the last few years, several novel job-related terms have gone viral. Just think: Before this decade began, phrases like #remotework, #hybridwork, #NewWork, #theGreatResignation and #QuietQuitting either didn’t exist or were rarely heard in the workplace. Now, they are common. #CareerCushioning is another such term growing in popularity. And it’s one that everyone from entry-level professionals to seasoned workers should get to know because it can be used to help ensure your financial stability. https://hubs.la/Q02yChC20

Don't Just Say Yes Yet! Top Priorities Before Accepting a Job Offer (2024) Landing a job offer is exciting, but before you celebrate, take a breath and prioritize these key factors: 1. Compensation & Benefits: Salary: Research average salaries for your position, experience level, and location. Benefits: Evaluate health insurance, paid time off, retirement plans, and other perks. 2. Work-Life Balance & Flexibility: Schedule: Does the workload allow for a healthy work-life balance? Remote Work Options: Is remote or flexible work offered, and if so, to what extent? 3. Company Culture & Values: Research the company culture: Does it align with your values and work style? Read online reviews and talk to current employees (if possible) to get an insider's perspective. 4. Career Growth & Development: Growth opportunities: Does the company offer training, mentorship, or opportunities for advancement? Learning & Development: Will you have the chance to develop your skills and expertise? 5. Gut Feeling: Trust your instincts! Does something feel "off" about the offer or the company? Remember: This is a two-way street. Take time to assess if the job offer aligns with your needs and career goals. . . . #JobOffer #CareerTips #FutureOfWork

The results are in! ✅ I am sure everyone in my LinkedIn network was anxiously awaiting the results of my last survey about what people value most when considering a new position or staying in their current position.   In 2022, career advancement and remote work flexibility were tied as the top priority. While the order has stayed consistent from two years ago, I noticed a slight increase in the percentage prioritizing career growth.   I love data and analyzing data. It's fascinating to compare the data points and track how priorities shift over time. 🙏 I appreciate everyone who took the time to weigh in! #priorties #values #remotework #salary #careeradvancement #compensation #careergoals
