Thinking about getting a 2nd job

Seeking Advice/Help

I M(26) finance degree, full time entry level banking job.

Have time after my 8-4:30 and want to make more money and just kinda stop being lazy after work.

I have been working since age 16 full time and put myself thru school. I have experience in irrigation repair and golf course maintenance, as well as managerial experience of a crew of around 20 men.

I plan to become an FSA eventually so anything pertaining to this would be awesome…but I’m not fully set on it.

Anybody have recommendations for a part time gig like 20 hours a week?

You work in finance ?? How about a part time job at H&R Block during tax season ?? Or a gig as a bank teller ?? Or a financial advisor ??

Smart. I have a buddy who has a seasonal job during tax season. He brings in bankkkkk in just 3 months.

I’ll look into that at H&R Block. I am planning on taking SIE, Series 7, and Series 65 to be a financial advisor one day.

I do security full time, I bring a laptop. I played minecraft today😢. The right posts can be very chill. But the pay won’t be anything to write home about.

With your schedule, fast food would probably be the most flexible. They have evening hours.

Most restaurants and retail shops have shifts that start around 5/5:30 and end around 9-10pm. If you can score a job as a server or barista, you get tips on top of wage, which can be nice. Or if you don’t like working for people, you can see if there are any part time warehouse jobs or dishwasher jobs that work with your schedule.

Dishwasher might be nice actually, good shout.

I used to work at Sam’s club a couple months ago until I quit due to the amount of points I accumulated due to my other job, but I’ve tried applying to security, academy outdoors, next thought was as a dishwasher but I haven’t sent an application yet since I’ve been sick for the past week and I’m just waiting to feel better so I can send an application in and maybe get an interview also.

Bartender could be fun, I’m being picky just cus I don’t need the job. Just purely to stay busy.

As someone working their way to an FSA you might try working part time or weekends at fidelity just as an example as an advisor. Make around mid 20’s per hour for part time work. Could also try your hand at online financial coaching as a side hustle. Just help people create a budget and coach them through the difficulties of maintaining a budget. There’s also seasonal tax work you can take on though if it’s your first time working around taxes, they pay won’t be nearly as good vs someone three or four seasons in.

How do you recommend getting into the seasonal tax business with no accounting experience?
I took like 4 accounting classes in college but but other than that I’m clueless.

So another commenter suggested HR Block. Good company and plenty of work during tax season. Again just expect as a first year that you will not be making bank like people several seasons ahead of you. Their hourly will be higher and bonuses too at much better rates. Very easy to apply and get your license or whatever you’d like to call a PTIN. Basically what’s associated to you as a tax preparer and makes the work legal for you to get paid doing it. Can also try to venture out on your own with it if you find you like working the numbers this way.

Also I will mention that this is work you can apply to and learn before and on the job. No prior experience required but again that means you’ll kind of be taking your pick of the scraps left by more seasoned preparers.

If you’re in finance, start working on certifications or grad school. You could probably take a few part-time classes to qualify to sit for the CPA exam if you want. If you’re interested in more corporate finance you can take the CMA.
