Overemployment in IT - good idea or not ?

[bambz]

I was working as IT dev for two customers for one year. I’ve earnt a lot of money, I spent 7-9 hours per day in work, but it was tiring for me and I did not have time and power to think about my businesses (for example SaaSes) to create passive income.

Now I work for one customer and have time for my things but I know that I can come back to overemployment with other better paid customers and collect some big amount of money. But .. is it still fastlane?

What do you recommend?

I can only reference my own experience. I worked a busy corporate job until a month ago, I earned very good money but i was still trading my time for money. It was stressful too.

I built my business whilst working that full-time job, it is possible. It means little sleep and no weekends but it can be done if you love what you're doing it. A month ago I left corporate and my passive income generates money whilst I sleep, eat and well now. I wont ever go back to corporate life and it was the best decision i've ever made, I am now in charge of my own revenue I put in more work to build revenue streams and I go do more with that money.

So yes I say go for it, life is short but don't leave your day job until you have a substantial business that has proven it's capability to earn revenue and has the scale and potential to grow.

I create e-commerce brands and then market them using SEO and various commerce platforms. I use 3tp providers to fulfil orders so I personally never touch the merch (other than to inspect). We are in an unprecedented shift from high street to online shopping which has been expedited by the pandemic.

I own two pet brands and one that sells kitchen equipment. I’m now starting a new income stream selling courses which teach others how to do the same but I won’t get into that here because it’s against the rules.
