Hello everyone I’m a 27/M working in the banking industry as a financial analyst. Honestly this is my first “big boy” job as I was previously paying my way through grad school and got my MBA. I felt proud.

During those years I worked as servers/barback/medical field/doordash/etc. It was a grind to say the least and I’m glad I do not have to do that. So I landed a mid level role at a regional bank and it pays 78,500/yr plus I get a discretionary bonus which pays at 15% base so total comp is a little over $90k. Not bad.

But truth be told, the work is dead ass easy. I wish we could work from home and it’s totally applicable to do so but management as “separation anxiety” and we have to come into office. And as my first real job, I don’t have any leverage to really complain.

Then recently I had a one on one with my manager and suddenly he said something that struck a revelation in me. He said:

“We want to get our money’s worth out of you and we expect you to do x,y, and z…”

Some reason, that phrase “get our moneys worth out of you struck, not that I think my manager is a jerk in fact he’s quite flexible and I like the guy actually.

But like newtons law every action has an opposite and equal reaction, I also thought, “then I want to get my monies worth as well.”

So it’s got me thinking 🤔 “with this easy of a work load, it wouldn’t be so difficult to get another job/contract on the side and generate additional money income would it?”

I have my MBA, I am a CSM (scrum), and PMP approved my application and all I need to do is take the damn test which I am holding off right now.

So guys I need help, which roles/contract positions do you think would best suit to get MY MONIES worth?

For my job, I mostly work with excel, plan budgets, create general ledgers, do variance/regression analysis, analyze financial trends/patterns/anamolies/etc, create simple dashboards and visuals in powerBi for the executives. The role itself is a financial systems analyst since we are actually a fin-tech company merged with data and FP&A (financial planning and analysis).

So I’m a little stuck, the drive is in me, but I needs some guidance and direction thx🙏,

Shalom!
