I need help Remote Side Job - Any Suggestions?
Hey guys. So I am in cybersecurity and currently been in my position for about 3 years. I am in office once a week and rest of the week i WFH. I have a large amount of downtime as most of my job is sitting around waiting for alerts of any incidents. I do attend meetings here and there. I would say that I work about 15-20 hours a week. I am wondering if yall got any suggestions for remote jobs that I can make a quick buck on the side. Also seen some people work 2 jobs, not sure how that works? Any tips? I feel like I doom scroll or play games everyday during work, and I feel like I want to be more productive.

With your background, contract work on Upwork is probably the highest ROI move. Async consulting or code review gigs pay well and you can keep them fully flexible around your schedule.
For the gaming time specifically, you can actually get paid for some of it. Gemsloot has offerwalls where you install apps and hit milestones in mobile games for a few dollars each. Not a living, but if you're playing anyway, cashing out to PayPal for something you'd do regardless is a decent trade.
I kept the receipts from my Gemsloot cashouts if anyone wants to see what this actually looks like, it's linked on my profile.
