Returning to the OE world

Created a brand new profile recently as I needed to be completely anonymous. I did some OE in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic and at the time my J1 was 117k and J2 was 80k (I got a raise at some point to 100k @ only 30 hours per week) so At some point I was making between 200-220k.

This latest until 2022.

Come present day. I miss all the money I was making.

Now I am with J1 161k.

A previous job (this is why you always leave on good terms) asked me to come with them for between 15-30 hours a week. I negotiated $65 an hour (for context, my rate is usually 75-95 an hour but they know i have a second job) and plan to submit 30 hours a week. I’m also not sure how long J2 will last as they told me it wasn’t to last forever. But knowing this company I honestly would t be surprised if they (hopefully) forget and pay me indefinitely for a long time. TLDR: J2 is 1950 per week at 30 hours (annualized is 100k)

Last, I am going to get another job offer for J3 for 120k per year (with up to 20% bonus annually)

This brings my potentially monthly income level starting in late January early February to burst, from $13416 Gross to $31866 Gross.

Needless to say, I am a little scared, a little worried. But I am telling myself I got this. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.

Just wanted to share with everyone! I really need the money as the first OE experience I had I blew all my money on stupid shit and didn’t do a great job paying down my debts.

Any words of wisdom or encouragement is welcomed.
