Adam, a millennial technologist, made roughly $85,000 (Rs 70 lakh) annually and owed $118,000 (Rs 98 lakh) in school loans. However, he succeeded in more than doubling his yearly salary by the end of the year, reaching over $170,000 (about Rs 1 crore), according to Business Insider. He was able to drastically lower his loan balance (Rs 42 lakh) in less than a year thanks to this.

Youtube into the journey 

He had been looking for a way to secretly manage several distant jobs at the same time, and in December of that year, he came across a YouTube video that gave him the idea. Adam, an Arizona security risk specialist, was not happy with the additional cash he was getting from meal delivery services. According to the media, he decided to add a remote job to his full-time position to increase his income.
He had been looking for a way to secretly manage several distant jobs at the same time, and in December of that year, he came across a YouTube video that gave him the idea. Adam said he knew right away that he could do this. His two main goals were to quadruple his salary and pay off his college loans in two years. He thanked the media in a statement for landing his second remote job in February.

LinkedIn had a role to play!

"I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn regarding a position for which my profile looked to qualify," the man claimed. He applied, had two interviews, and received an offer of employment within two weeks.  Adam added that working two jobs allowed him to save enough money for a four-month emergency fund and help out some friends financially in addition to paying back his student loans. He works between thirty and sixty hours a week, and he thinks this arrangement is viable. Adam also offers some guidance to professionals who want to earn extra money by moonlighting.

Setting the calendars in alignment is the first piece of advice. He advised the publication, "If you have regular meetings at one job, make sure you block off those times on the other calendar and vice versa." Finally, he advised overworked people to take advantage of their sick days if they start to feel overburdened. "There are numerous reasons to use sick leave: insufficient sleep, mental health issues, medical appointments, etc.," he explained. "You do not have to defend your use of sick days to anyone."
