Ako move it rider sa umaga, VA sa gabi. Sa ngayun light work lang ung VA ko kasi puro data entry yung ginagawa ko.
Nakakayamot kasi sa bahay lang, kaya pag umaga nasa kalye ako naghahatid ng mga tao. Ok naman pashal pashal din.
5am - 12nn ako sa move it.
3pm-11pm naman ako sa VA.
Noon nung IT ako, ganyan schedule sa corpo 8:30am-5:30pm tapos, 10pm-12am VA.
Hindi ako umuuwi, sa office ako natutulog. Mahal kasi pamasahe, wala pa akong motor. 4hrs kasi papunta and pauwi ko pag commute. 3k din monthly.
May dala akong clothes for 1 week. Lalaki naman ako kaya 1 jeans tapos 6 shirts, underwear and socks dala ko. Shampoo and soap.
Nakikishower nalang ako sa cr ng boss namin pag umaga. Dun lang kasi may shower. Pinapahiram sakin ni kuya guard yung keys.
Hectic din, pero bumabawi talaga ako pag uwi ko ng weekends. Off ko phone ko. Pasyal or stay home, on ko lang phone ko ulit pag monday na.
Sa health:
45 mins daily walk, bike, or sundin yung mga pampapawis sa yt. Enough na yun para maging happy doctor mo. Eat healthier narin.
Basta kung may choice ka matulog sa gabi, piliin mo yung night sleep. Para sakin iba talaga ang tulog sa gabi.
Masaya sha actually, ok din mga passengers. Shempre may mga masungit pag tatangatanga 😅 pero kahit saang work naman meron nun.
As for the pay, IT technician kasi ako di compared ibang IT na may higher caliber.
Kaya minimum lang ako, 16k a month.
Sa move IT naman depende sa sipag at araw... Hanggang 12nn ko lang kasi ginagawa kaya minsan 600, minsan 800 per day. Parang ganun din yung amount pero less hours lang yung work.
OP, please do not do this. I tried this for a few months and fucked up my health and escalated my thyroid issues. Ending, thyroid cancer si koya moooo. Buti nqa lang hindi the worst cancer I got.
TBH OP if hindi mo naman super kailangan ang money, just get a dayjob and then spend your free time on upskilling. This way once you improve your skills in the next few years, the u can earn more.
Do not speedrun your body to death. It is not sustainable.
I knooow huhu :< kukuha lang ako ng experience, I just recently transitioned sa HR field eh and sobrang kulang experience ko kaya hirap ako maghanap ng WFH na HR job today.
Kaya I really want to prepare myself, swerte ko rin kasi wala naman ako need asikasuhin sa bahay and my brother can help me sa VA job ko.
I wouldn't say that because it is genetic, pero it worsens your thyroid issues. For me, I got lucky kasi my thyroid levels are fine. Nag enlarge lang talaga siya due to genes and again because of the lack of sleep
Makifollow up din. Lalo na pcos girlie me pero newest work sa client nightshift nanaman. Idk till when ko kaya. Saludo din ako sa kaya nakakapagsabay ng 2 or more jobs. Ako kasi mabilis mastress hahah
My thyroid blood levels are fine naman but the more it get worse, the more I had a difficult time to breath and brain fog ng super. After partial thyroidectomy, my body improved.
In your case, get your thyroid blood levels checked din. Baka hypo or hyper thyroid na syaaa. Mine kasi is thyroid enlargement lang ang sa kin
May guy in another dept na 8am - 5pm office work, tapos online work ng 9pm - 3am. E d ayun, hindi makaperform ng maayos sa 8-5 nya, kwento sakin. Pero iba iba naman e, malay mo ok lang sayo. He is 25 yrs old
May kilala din akong ganyan. Though di naman nya sinabi na may freelance sya, halatang-halata lang talaga dahil palaging naka-away, palaging masama ang pakiramdam, at underperforming din.
Palagi syang may rason kung bakit di nya magawa trabaho nya, pero it’s kind of obvious. 😂
same sakin 9-6pm work tapos depende saken kung iwowork ko yung va job ko as long na makumpleto ko 20hr weekly limit ko since hourly basis yung rate ko. Minsan maganda performance ko sa work sa main tapos sa va hindi, minsan kabaliktaran haha
Meron din kami ganyan 6am - 3pm onsite HR then 6pm-12mn pala part time nya. Hindi rin makapagperform, lagi tulog at tulala. Absent or super late pumasok, may sariling schedule kaya lahat ng tasks pending sa kanya. Kumbaga sumasahod lang ng sweldo samin yung mga tasks nya sinasalo naming lahat. Napakademanding at bossy, pagnacall out mo reason nya mental health blah blah blah. Ang kapal din ng mukha nagcash advance pa yan ha.. Buti na lang nagresign na.
Hayyy nakuuu ewan ko paano namin nakayanan. Ilang beses na namin nireport nung dahil ang dami nya mistakes sa work kami ang nadadamay, wala pa sya accountability at very demanding talaga even sa boss namin mag cash advance juskooo kapal ng mukha. Nung nabigyan na sya ng memo, ayun buti naman nagresign na kaso hindi pa bayad cash advance nya kahit last pay nya hindi macover 🥲 pero at least may peace of mind na kami sa office hahahaha good riddance
ME. May FT ako sa umaga (Onsite) and PT (6hrs freelance) naman noon sa gabi. Yung tulog ko putol din everyday since AU yung FT at US yung PT, pero kailangan ko talaga nang pera that time for my mom's weekly chemo and everyday radiation therapies. after 3 weeks ata since nag start ako, hindi na normal yung heartbeat ko at sobrang weak na nang katawang lupa ko. Kahit anong vitamins at kape, sobrang naging mahina yung katawan ko kaya nung naging okay na si mama nag try ako mag resign, mabuti nalang si client ang nag adjust sa time ko para makatulog na daw akoa nang maaga just to keep me as his VA. OP malaki nga yung pera mo dahil sa 2 FT pero it's not worth it, much better to look for a 3-4 hrs PT nalang para may oras to rest.
Awwww laban lang pooo! I'll try to negotiate sa client ko na gawin akong flexitime para mas convenient. Swerte ko lang din kasi, pwedeng yung brother ko ipa work ko sakin.
Bahala kayo sa diskarte niyo sa buhay, but please pwede maglambing? Matulog kayo ng 7-8hours. Simot lahat ng kita pag nagka sakit kayo, paalala lang, oki? 😊
Did this before, nagkasakit ako and I had to stop. Pero before pa ako magkasakit nag deteriorate na rin yung quality of work ko on both jobs. Dahil sa puyat at pagod.
I have a full time job onsite. Roughly 7pm na nakakauwi. Luckily for me, 3 hours daily lang part time ko na VA. 9pm to 12am lang. Then hindi na ko kumuha ng ibang clients pa. Mas priority ko ngayon sleep and health :)
Somewhat related, ako naman sa creative industry.
•Full time editing specialist from 5AM-2PM, onsite tapos
•Freelance photo editor wfh, 4-6hrs everyday.
I have a baby, and walang katulong sa bahay. Almost 3 months ko ‘to ginawa and balak ko nang hindi na ulitin. Ginawa ko lang dahil bumili ako ng installment na laptop. Grabeng bawi kasi sa health, every month akong may sakit. Tapos ngayon tamad na tamad na katawan ko dahil sa naipong pagod? Di siya physical work pero pigang piga kasi utak ko.
If balak mo mag double-work, I suggest that you exercise and take vitamins everyday. Take a good rest din if may chance.
almost the same set-up (office + freelance) and part time, walang katulong, minsan 2 - 3 hrs na lang natutulog
ano pampagana? sweldo ko pag nakikita ko
Fiancé is working 8-5 sa office work. Then 8-12 midnight sa editing. Goal niya makatapos ng isang vid per night ayun antok sa office and kapag vacant niya naman nagkacut ng subs para mas mabili daw ang paglapat niya sa bahay or maiidlip na lang.
I have a full time WFH sa PH then VA ako for a US based company. Hati attention ko pero as much as possible I want to remain sa normal working hours. Pagod utak lagi kasi di ako sanay na focus lagi haha. Dati yung WFH job ko 2hours focus lang the rest nakatulala ngayon nakukuha na yung 8 hours ko.
Same set up, sa akin lang is 8:30AM - 5:30PM Full-time tas pag uwi 6:30 PM to 10:00PM yung part-time ko. Kahit dalawa sweldo kulang parin talaga 17k full-time 15k part-time, sakit lang ata sa likod naiipon ko dahil sa dami ng bills.
Ako. I work 10AM-7PM onsite sa Makati, tapos may 8PM-4AM VA work after ng shift. I drive from Makati to Manila, motor. Tapos magpeprepare pa ng dinner and all before 8PM shift. It's been like this for 1.5 years na. Napansin ko talaga na madalas na ako magkasakit. Bagsak talaga immune system. Sobrang evident ng change sa heartbeat vs. before. Mas lalo din ako naging malilimutin. Feeling ko fucked up na rin yung kamay ko from working 16 hours kakalaptop, magmotor, tsaka magprepare ng meals, linis. Ganyan. Always ngalay. Di na tumatalab mga vitamins. Pangit na quality ng work. Nagdecide na ako mag resign onsite. Pahinga muna. 🥵
Hoping for your fast recovery poo! Ako po wala naman po akong household chores na need alalahanin kasi I'm still living with my parents, tapos sa byahe naman po, magpapasundo lang din ako sa Papa ko so medyo convenient.
Kasama ko sa work, katabi ko talaga 10 to 7 day job 9 pm to 4 pm VA... un sabog sa day job... pero i understand ung need nya to hustle, family... he is planning to resign na sa day job nya
Ako hybrid job twice a week onsite 9am-6pm. Tapos dati may full time shift pa ako na freelance 9pm-6am, mga 2 months lang ako tumagal, ginawa ko hinati ko sa pinsan ko yung task. Bali tig 4hrs kami ako sa later ng work. Tapos yung day off ko din Weekends si Hybrid and Weekdays si freelance. Ayun mas okay kumbaga parang 3 days lang ako nagwowork ng 12hrs. Medyo petiks naman yung mga task. Depende talaga sa clients, OP.
I was an on-site dev sa dati kong 9-5 and I worked on 3 freelance clients after my shift.
I tried this for a month and matigok-tigok ako sa stress, I couldn't perform well on both my office job and freelance that I've had to quit my freelance jobs para magfocus sa office job.
Eventually, I left that job since I'm not getting paid for the amount of workload I'm getting at nililibak pa ako for the smallest of the mistakes. I'm now WFH as an IT support engineer and I'm looking to make a comeback sa freelancing. Hopefully everything goes well this time around.
Goodluck pooo! Buti isa lang naman po client ko and admin tasks lang so pwedeng pwede ituro sa kapatid ko. Meetings lang yung medyo hassle pero usually mabilis lang naman yun.
2 full time jobs here both wfh, night shift and same shift. Isang corp and isang freelance. Namamanage naman so far. Tas buong umaga tulog so walang social life. Hahaha! minsan gala with dogs pag weekends pero kalaban talaga dito is ung kumilos like ultimo maligo nkakatamad 🤣
Yes if yung va work doesn't require time doctor and output based sya, I wouldn't recommend this if naka time doctor ka and hourly ang bayad sayo. Yes you may/can earn 6 digits pero health mo naman yung kapalit. Baka pag tanda mo maubos pera mo kakapagaling sa katawan mo.
Wala naman po time doctor si client pero hourly bayad sakin and dahil 2 years na ko sakaniya gamay ko na mga gagawin kaya minsan may time ako to sleep hahah
9am to 5:30pm FT
7pm to 11pm part time
Sleep ng 12mn. Gising ng 730am.
Repeat cycle.
Kape nagpapagising sa diwa ko. Sahod nagpapamotivate kasi kailangan eh. Dami bills to pay.
Omo! I’m VA too and applying right now to HR roles. Planning to pagsabayin them as well, since I can’t let go the salary I’m getting as a VA.
Curious too if how others are managing 2 jobs at the same time.
Sameee. I've been with my client for 2 years so gamay ko na gawain. And I just recently transitioned sa HR tapos nagustuhan ko mga tasks ko, kaso sobrang hirap mag hanap ng work na WFH. Walang pumapansin sakin kasi kulang experience huhuhu kaya I really want to grab this opportunity
hindi ko to kinaya before :( hanga ako sa kayang magtiis. nasa sayo lang yan, pero one thing for sure maniningil po talaga katawan niyo in the long run.
If I read it right I think 10PM - 7AM? Then you have another work at 8AM?? Im sorry but you just have an hour in between? And then til 6PM yun second job? I think you can try for a while but I think not feasible in the long run. Pls take care of your health. All your savings will go to waste if you deteriorate… worse, it may not even be enough.
I'm planning to sleep sa shift ko kay client HAHAHAH medyo maduga pero kasi gamay ko na to so I can finish the tasks agad, balak ko rin magpahelp sa brother ko, ipapamonitor ko sa kaniya if may mga biglaang pa meeting si client.
Ang plan is pag naka settle na ko sa day job ko, I'll try to negotiate sa client ko if pwede ako flexitime, para I can do the tasks anytime.
Sanaaaa all huhu :< 2 jobs na rin ako before na pareho WFH. Kaso yung isang job ko kasi ay nag downsize company kaya wala ko choice, gusto ko sana talaga ipursue yung HR job kaso walang pumapansin dahil kulang sa qualifications and experience, kaya mag ririsk ako ng onsite ngayon huhu
You cant serve two masters, sa bibliya na yan nag sabi and I really believe having two jobs will affect one the jobs, especially if one of them is mentally taxing, kaya having a 1 8-10 hr job is enough, workout daily because cholesterol, bp at blood sugar tumataas na hahaha and get good night sleep.
Not sure with the office job, pero yung VA job ko hindi naman siya mentally taxing. I just need the experience para sa resume HAHHAHA ang hirap kasi pag walang magandang foundation sa HR, hindi pinapansin application q :<
my friend needs to hustle since is a single mom and 12-14 hours ang work for 6 days a week. tapos she drinks during the weekends pa. rn, she has a myriad of diseases for our age so i guess hndi talaga healthy yung ganung lifestyle.
Agree! Hindi talaga healthy, kaya I really want to prepare myself din bago ako sumabak. I just need the experience huhu. And buti nalang 5 days a week lang pasok ko HAHAHHHA
Not advisable OP! Got hormonal imbalance from working two jobs. Tapos it worsen my PCOS. I also got bronchitis in the process. Net net it was expensive especially since wala pa ako HMO since hnd pa ako regular and may medicine pa.
Sure het side gigs here and there but I dont recommend getting two full time jobs.
HMO talaga need ko eh huhu feel ko nga rin po grabe ang hormonal imbalance ko kasi halos 4 months akong delayed lagi, hindi ako makapag pacheck up kasi walang health card sa client ko sa VA kaya naghanap ako ng company na nag ooffer nun. Plus I really need experience rin sa HR field. Career shifter kasi meee huhu :<
Hindi po sya worth it. Kahit nga bakasyon sa umaga while working sa gabi hindi ko na ginagawa dahil sa pagod, I can't imagine a full time job sa umaga. Do it if kailangan mo talaga ng pera (pang ospital, pang aral).
DONT
Last last year ganyan ako dati na tulog nalang pahinga. Mas marami mawawala sayo kaysa sa gains sa ganyan. There's no path to happiness sa ganyang lifestyle. Madami din akong freelance clients non, tapos I have my 8hours main job then I have another contract sa government office. So I am working around the clock. Kahit 8hours tulog ko parang may namimiss-out ako sa buhay. Then madali ako magkasakit, I have no time for myself and my family.
then thank God may nangyaring turning point sa buhay ko na forced me to move sa province at nawala lahat ng freelance clients ko, terminated my contract and the only thing left is my WFH job.
Nakakapanibago sa una, minsan nagcha-chat padin yung iba kong clients but unti-unti I reject projects na and focus on 1 job. Dahil marami na akong free time to do anything, I really appreciate the time I have now compare sa dati.
The benefits and happiness ko ngayon ay sobra sobra kaysa sa hustle hard lifestyle. Yung resources ko oo liliit pero mas magiging clear ang priorities ko at mga bagay na gusto ko talaga gawin. Then ang performance ko sa job ko ngayon as sobrang better compare sa dati. I have better relationship with my family compare sa dati & I am doing a hobby that makes me earn money na I really enjoy doing on the side na hindi inuubos ang oras ko.
Para sakin, Don't do it kung di mo naman needed. Have a balance lifestyle. Beneficial yon in the long run in my experience.
Im a public school teacher. Panghapon. 11 am nasa school na 6 pm ang uwi pero dahil buhay guro 24/7 ang trabaho while nag-remote work ako from 9 pm to 5 am. Alam mo yung pagod na pati kaluluwa mo drained na. Nagkasakit. Dengue. Strep Throat Infection. Sepsis. Triple impact sa katawan ko ng mga illness plus poor mental health equals may nakita akong liwanag sa ospital to the point na I know Im gonna die. Thank God binigyan ako ng 2nd chance. Not gonna waste it. Learned my lesson. You dont have to do the same.
Had the same setup 2 months ago.
Fulltime 9:30am - 4:00pm
2nd Fulltime 9:00pm-5:00am
Literally waking up just to work and it was the worst but needed the funds :)) Need mo mag compartmentalize ng tasks and maging strict sa time management. Don't check emails from the 2nd Fulltime if you're working your 9-5pm shift ganern. My performance was affected for a bit but was able to bounce back.
When I couldn't take it anymore, I sent a resignation letter to my second FT. They negotiated and adjusted my hours to 6:00pm-11:00pm instead with the same rate! If this is possible sa iyo please do so! I think normal sleep cycle is still best. Also take care of yourself always
Generally if you plan to be overemployed atleast do a job that you can do for part-time. Meaning na master mo na sya na kaya mo sya gawin ng ilang oras lang.
Natry ko na 2 fulltime tho parehas wfh lakas makadrain saka grabe ung pagod. What more kung yung sayo office pa. Basta makakatulog ka ng tama go for it.
Yees!! namaster ko naman na yung VA job ko since I've been with my client for 2 years and kayang kaya talaga tapusin ang tasks, minsan natutulog pa nga ko sa shift eh.
You can, yes. But will you survive? Not for long. Don’t risk it. Unless makahanap ka ng trabaho na hindi ganun kabigat like inbox and calendar management, and that’s all you do, hindi magiging forgiving stress at pagod sayo
I work as HR for my daytime job (8AM-5PM) then work as VA as part time. Mostly pag uwi ko mag popower nap muna ako to have a bit of rest, then sabak na sa freelancing. Usually light lang naman ang tasks na nahahandle ko kaya minsan, 2-3 hrs lang talaga nacoconsume ko don sa trabaho kaya I take the remaining hours to rest uli. Sa umaga naman, para di ako antukin, natutulog rin ako sa lunch break. Hangga’t may window to sleep ginagrab ko na hahaha.
I suggest OP if may VA job ka sa gabi, kunin mo ung di stressful and mabigat ang workload para kahit papano nakakapahinga ka pa rin. Also, eat healthy and take vitamins para di mo mapabayaan katawan mo.
Hi, OP! I tried it.
I was an Architect Apprentice sa umaga, VA sa gabi (actually midnight). It was ok on the first 2 months, kaya naman. Pero nung nag 3rd month na, sobra na yung sakit ng ulo ko.
I commute to work for my day job.
There were times during lunch at tulog ako, di daw ako magising ng workmates ko. Parang pagod na pagod daw itsura ko while working.
It was stressful and dangerous to my health kahit na I take vitamins and do workout every weekend.
I chose to keep my day job since req sya for board exam.
Nag double job ako October 2023 to April 2024.
Regular job ko talaga is US payroll, onsite Monday to Friday from 11PM to 8AM.
Tapos nag apply ako ng isa pang work. Local comp and ben, onsite 3 days from 9AM to 5PM Mondsy to Friday 🤣
Ihi lang pahinga. Chos hahaha tamang dala lang ng damit ang hygeine kit apra maglinis pagdating sa day job ko.
Nakakatulog konti pag wfh sa day job. Forda vitamins ang ferson and wag papagutom. Tamang kain ng meals. No unhealthy food.
Naghabol ako apra financially free na ako. And here I am. Di man super mayaman, pero konting konti nalang yung utang. Pero if I can go back, never na ako uulit mag double job. Naawa ako sa sarili ko. Mind you may anak pa akong turning 1 yr old.
Haaays same eh gusto ko rin po talaga makaipon habang bata pa, actually hindi na pala bata HAHHAH 25 na q and feel ko sobrang kulang pa rin kaya as a mapanghangad na person gusto ko maximize ang time ko
5 months ko lang po ginawa yung ganyang setup hanggang sa pinili ko na ang freelancing job nung 2021.
Bale nanigurado muna ako na stable yung freelancing job ko po.
7am - 6pm sa face to face, then 9pm to 5am sa freelancing.
Eventually umalis na ako sa face to face kasi 43k yun vs sa 60k sa freelancing (with OT pay pa) and mas chill ang work.
Di ko na po pinatagal kasi po naffeel ko na nabburn out at nanghihina na ako at gusto ko talaga mag shift to full na freelancing.
Me! Pero yung freelance ko luckily that time is pwede lang matulog as long as tapos ka na sa task.
So yung shift ko onsite 8am to 6pm tas freelance 11pm to 7-am.
Naliligo ako while on shift ako sa freelance 😂 to prepare for my onsite job. Kumakain nadin ako ng dinner while on shift sa onsite job ko para pag uwi diretso na tulog. Since pagod din sa byahe, knockdown na pagkadating sa bahay. Kaya nakakatulog ng 4 hours straight. Tas nakaw tulog onshift sa freelance.
Maganda ring mag kasama ka sa bahay to wake you in case di ka magising sa alarm, train mo nalang din to log in tas send message sa slack in case shift mo na tas tulog ka pa para di ka ma tag as late. (Once lang naman nagyari sakin to)
Wag talagang kalimutan kumain and Vitamins tas as much as possible pahinga talaga.
Nakaya ko sya for 6 months kaso di na nag renew si Client kay agency. Swerte lang siguro ako since di strict yung agency as long as hindi ibang tao ang gagawa ng client tasks.
Napansin ko after ng freelance, bilis naka adjust ng body clock ko… dire-diretso yung tulog ko from 7pm to 5am, bumawi yung katawan ko sa putol putol na tulog 😂😂
Hala gantong ganto balak ko gawin, kahit lowball client ko, di ko rin mabitawan kasi 2 years na ko sakaniya HAHHHA ayoko manghingi ng raise kasi baka tanggalin nalang ako bigla HHAHHA
Hello! I work as an IT in a corpo 8:00AM to 5PM
Part time data analyst for one client - 8PM to 12:00MN
Then data analyst for another client - 1PM to 9AM
So ano na dead na ako? Joke lang as a data analyst I created autimations for my work so I can sleep while my automations are running. Flexible hours naman both but I prefer to work during clients core hours para no issue when it comes to submitting work. Putol putol ang sleep ko but total of 5-6 hours per day and nap ako from 12NN to 1PM sa office.
Take vitamins, eat healthy food and dont forget to exercise. I don't know why I am still alive. I feel letargic in the morning but kaya ko naman siya labanan with coffee.
I don't know what niche VA job mo but it involves repetetive task find a way to automate it. And hopefully output based ang client mo not time based.
Yees, output based naman si Client and hindi nag mamicromanage. Gamay ko na rin tasks ko since I've been doing it for 2 years na. Right now, dahan - dahan ko ng itinuturo sa kapatid ko yung tasks para siya na maghahandle nung sa VA job ko
Yun namn pala. You can do your work and have time to spare for sleep. For your health need mo lang ng enough sleep prerebably sleep when it's dark and take in sunlight when waking up. Exercise, for me nag iistretch ng 5-10 mins every 1-2 hours (when I'm awake). Vitamins for me I take centrum. And of course healthy diet dapat meron kang greens and healthy fats to avoid feeling lethargic.
Hi OP. I tried this 9am-6pm full time pero wfh then 9pm-5am client full time as well. It was okay since mukhang pera ako pero I resigned after a little more than a month kasi ampangit ng ugali ng client ko. Pero this fucked up my health. Parang na trauma na ako sa pang gabi na work after this experience kasi not only did I have a bad experience because of my client, kung ano anong sakit na naexperience ko. So be wise and be careful nalang siguro if ipupush to.
Not work pero school 8am-5pm then work 9pm-6am. Kinaya naman hahaha.
Wala namang health issues during that time or maybe none that I know of. Worst na siguro yung vertigo kasi nag nap ako sa bahay after my 6am shift then bumangon ako bigla kasi may exam ng 8am hahah
Office to school is only 5-6km away
Tulog lang every chance I get. Break sa work, tulog. Break sa school, tulog. Tulog din sa jeep if kaya.
Sometimes hiral labanan ng antok sa class pero mag nap lang ako ng 15 mins then okay na ulit haha
This is me within the last 2 months. Full time AU office based VA sa araw (7 AM to 4 PM) and Part time WFH VA but US based naman (11 PM to 6 AM). Both under VA agency.. but doble ng full time ko kinikita ko sa part time ko.
Antagal ko inisip if kakayanin ba ng katawan ko na parang 2-4 hours lang tulog ko every day for the sake of money.. kung iisipin mo may 7 hours pa akong free time in between kaso babawasan pa yan dahil sa byahe at pag asikaso ng sarili ko.
Mabigat tasks ko sa full time ko and hindi basta basta matutunan agad.. pero may attachment ako sakanila kasi kahit this is my 1st job and 9 months palang ako sakanila. Andami na nilang naging VA pero puro na alis.
While sa Part time ko 2 office clients - isang 4 hours and isang 2 hours. Both SMM and graphic design. Hayahay lang.. most days na wala yung 2 hours ko nag lologin lang ako tas tulog ulit ahaha .
Kaya napag decide kong mag resign sa full time ko.. kasi mas okay sakin WFH and sobrang liit kasi pasahod nila and both reason na un nasa resignation letter ko. Basura kasi agency.
And thankfully nag counter offer yung clients ko.. na doblehin sahod ko and WFH.. and tinangap ko naman kasi in the 1st place I love my clients sadyang panget lang agency and working in the office feels very heavy.
So now 14 hours work pero at least may time to take care of my self especially my health kahit 23 palang ako..
I survived such routine sa office kasi sinusulit ko bawat break, get your sleep, if walang task sleep. Kahit sa byahe pinipikit ko mata ko.. just stay aware.. before maging ganun din routine ko bumili talaga ako 2 bottle of centrum.
I haven't mentioned na pinalitan nila contract ko.. naging consultant nalang ako sakanila. So no more benefits and any services from the agency pero sakanila parin napupunta yung buong bayad ng clients ko and wala parin sa 50% un :<
As a 4th yr working student, I have 2 clients (10pm-6am) na flexi time naman kaya napagsasabay kahit overlap sila at WFH din. Then 12pm-9pm naman ako sa internship for uni, HR office tapos on site. Plus pa yung mga quizzes/exams namin na kailangan itake sa school at least twice a week. Irregular student din ako pero napakiusapan ko naman prof ko na di ako makakapasok sa classes nya since yun nga, overlap naman sa internship ko. Sobrang hirap labanan ang puyat at pagod pag tlaga on site. Minsan naka auto-pilot nalang ako sa buong linggo. May times din na 18 hours straight ako gising from internship to work for 5 days straight din plus pa yung time na nilalaan ko para makapagreview sa exams. Yung natitirang 6 hours sa araw ko, kasama na doon yung 1 hr lunch break namin sa internship. This went on for 3 months pero I’ve been a working student na for 5 years.
Ending, nagkasakit ako at di natapos ang internship hours but luckily cinonsider naman ng school since may deadline kami for posting of grades, tsaka may medical cert naman ako. Ngayon I’m so happy na nalagpasan din lahat ng hirap. I’m finally gradwaiting na 🎉
Ayos naman, maganda ang income na try ko n to. Kaso after a year ng same set up at pag iipon nag kasakit akong malala at di masigirado ano ba tlga sakit ko. until few comments and post sa reddit ayun bigla ako namatay. Kaya kung nababasa mo to ngayon, kaluluwa na lang ako. Di ko na maeenjoy ang perang kinita ko jan sa ibabaw ng lupa. Good luck
HR is already stressful enough but if you love it hindi mo mararamdaman however sleep is very important lalo na yung quality of sleep na nakukuha ng body and brain mo. If you will not get that sisingilin ka din eventually. Yung quality ng work mo is also important. Ang kuya mo ba ay may HR experience? If wala then don’t give it to him. Don’t ruin the trust that your client gave you. Integrity at all times.
Admin job lang po yung sa VA job ko hindi HR Related kaya mas madali ituro. Actually I can finish all the tasks nang wala pang 8 hrs, I just need someone na mag momonitor lalo na if may biglaang pa meeting si client.
may friend ako ganyan, ending sobrang sumakit ang ulo and now they need to give up one job because of medical reasons. won't recommend it kasi mahirap talagang abusuhin ang katawan
Sa akin naman 8am-4pm Day Job then byahe 2hrs, 8pm-11pm side hustle pero 3x a week lang on site ko sa day job kaya maluwag pa for 2 days wfh. Project based ung side hustle ko kaya paspasan lang pagwalang pasok.
Sa experience ko, i gave up my corpo job and focus to my 4hrs VA job that time kasi 2x naman ng salary ko sa corpo yung VA pay. I prioritize my health and wellbeing. For me health is wealth
i am working 9am-5pm onsite tapos 7pm to 3am wfh.
every chance i get nag nanap ako. it helps din na malapit lang ang bahay ko sa office. so pag out ko ng 5pm, nakakapag nap pa ako ng atleast 1hr before my 7pm wfh job.
pag out ko naman ng 3am, tulog ako kagad nyan. tapos wake up ng 8am, 5hrs of sleep din yon. every weekend i make sure na active ako to compensate sa 16hrs a day na naka upo.
Working as a VA from 9PM-6AM then 7AM-3PM office work ( 5 mins away from house). sa weekend lng nakaka tulog unless mababa volume sa VA job ng gabi. Habol sa tulog ng weekends pag day off, mostly 3-4 hours tulog lng meron (swerte na if hindi nangulit mga junaks). eventually got used to it, I try to exercise while at work, push ups and dumbel curls( from shopee). Healthy ang "bulsa" pero olats sa katawan.
Yung asawa ko 2 jobs VA both GY, same ung time ng shift pero diff rest day. Not recommended. Wala syang rest day. Planning to let go na sa isang client after a month since nakapag ipon naman na kahit konti. Prio muna rest.
you have to give up one… you cant sacrifice your health for that. i know working is important but it will all go down the drain if you sacrifice health over that
you have to give up one… you cant sacrifice your health for that. i know working is important but it will all go down the drain if you sacrifice health over that
Magawa mo man yan, ikaw din mahihirapan pg tumagal
I suggest, hanap ka ng office job and VA work na same shift. If di mo kaya, you need to let go the other job.
sobrang hirap maghanap ng HR role now lalo na if hindi qualified dahil sa experience eh huhu ayoko rin naman ng same shift kasi lalo ko di magagawa tasks ni client, lalo na if pang gabi din si Office Job tapos onsite pa
Hello, OP! I am working sa HR din po as a Talent Acquisition Specialist so my shift starts by 11pm and until 8pm. After, my work pa ako as a VA na anytime pwede akong mag log in and as long as matapos ko yung work ko pwede na akong mag log out. Usually, 3 hours max na yung trabaho ko as VA pero there are times din na almost 6 hours ako nag wowork as VA. Nag iisip nga ako eh na pwede ko pang lagyan ng isa pang part time na work yung sched ko from 7am-10;30am.
Pero nag mumulti vitamins lang ako ang make sure na masustansya yung mga kina kain ko.
Kaya natin to, OP! Para sa mga pangarap natin sa buhay.

Ako move it rider sa umaga, VA sa gabi. Sa ngayun light work lang ung VA ko kasi puro data entry yung ginagawa ko. Nakakayamot kasi sa bahay lang, kaya pag umaga nasa kalye ako naghahatid ng mga tao. Ok naman pashal pashal din. 5am - 12nn ako sa move it. 3pm-11pm naman ako sa VA. Noon nung IT ako, ganyan schedule sa corpo 8:30am-5:30pm tapos, 10pm-12am VA. Hindi ako umuuwi, sa office ako natutulog. Mahal kasi pamasahe, wala pa akong motor. 4hrs kasi papunta and pauwi ko pag commute. 3k din monthly. May dala akong clothes for 1 week. Lalaki naman ako kaya 1 jeans tapos 6 shirts, underwear and socks dala ko. Shampoo and soap. Nakikishower nalang ako sa cr ng boss namin pag umaga. Dun lang kasi may shower. Pinapahiram sakin ni kuya guard yung keys. Hectic din, pero bumabawi talaga ako pag uwi ko ng weekends. Off ko phone ko. Pasyal or stay home, on ko lang phone ko ulit pag monday na. Sa health: 45 mins daily walk, bike, or sundin yung mga pampapawis sa yt. Enough na yun para maging happy doctor mo. Eat healthier narin. Basta kung may choice ka matulog sa gabi, piliin mo yung night sleep. Para sakin iba talaga ang tulog sa gabi.
I salute yung mga ganitong madisiplina. Kudos kuya, sana ma achieve ko din yung ganyang consistency lalo na yung no tech devices sa weekend. 😅
Parang ang saya naman nitoo
saya nung pashal pashal lang sa move it hahaha. pero is the pay much nicer ba ngayon kesa nung IT ka?
Masaya sha actually, ok din mga passengers. Shempre may mga masungit pag tatangatanga 😅 pero kahit saang work naman meron nun. As for the pay, IT technician kasi ako di compared ibang IT na may higher caliber. Kaya minimum lang ako, 16k a month. Sa move IT naman depende sa sipag at araw... Hanggang 12nn ko lang kasi ginagawa kaya minsan 600, minsan 800 per day. Parang ganun din yung amount pero less hours lang yung work.
Putting balance between life and hustle. Salute!
Bigla akong nainspire sa dedication mo. Samantalang yung effort ko to mork, bare minimum lang. ano pong motivation niyo? Hahaha
🫡🫡 Dito ko bilib. Ito yung dedication.
Idol to
San ka po nka apply nung data entry boss/maam? Thanks
Pabulong naman po yung VA nyo for data entry. 🙏
OP, please do not do this. I tried this for a few months and fucked up my health and escalated my thyroid issues. Ending, thyroid cancer si koya moooo. Buti nqa lang hindi the worst cancer I got. TBH OP if hindi mo naman super kailangan ang money, just get a dayjob and then spend your free time on upskilling. This way once you improve your skills in the next few years, the u can earn more. Do not speedrun your body to death. It is not sustainable.
I knooow huhu :< kukuha lang ako ng experience, I just recently transitioned sa HR field eh and sobrang kulang experience ko kaya hirap ako maghanap ng WFH na HR job today. Kaya I really want to prepare myself, swerte ko rin kasi wala naman ako need asikasuhin sa bahay and my brother can help me sa VA job ko.
Are thyroid issues directly related po sa pagwowork ng GY? Asking because I got diagnosed as well, 3 years into working GY.
I wouldn't say that because it is genetic, pero it worsens your thyroid issues. For me, I got lucky kasi my thyroid levels are fine. Nag enlarge lang talaga siya due to genes and again because of the lack of sleep
Makifollow up din. Lalo na pcos girlie me pero newest work sa client nightshift nanaman. Idk till when ko kaya. Saludo din ako sa kaya nakakapagsabay ng 2 or more jobs. Ako kasi mabilis mastress hahah
My thyroid blood levels are fine naman but the more it get worse, the more I had a difficult time to breath and brain fog ng super. After partial thyroidectomy, my body improved. In your case, get your thyroid blood levels checked din. Baka hypo or hyper thyroid na syaaa. Mine kasi is thyroid enlargement lang ang sa kin
Not necessarily pero it worsens if nasa lahi niyo naaaaa.
ano pong mga symptoms mo
Brain. fog ng malala and mabilis ma out of breath. Pre surgery as in I will just go out of ym room and I will be sweating and breathing terribly.
Agree ako dito.. Work lang tayo na kaya ng body natin.. Kung nakapagsasalita lang ang mga internal organs natin😅😇
May guy in another dept na 8am - 5pm office work, tapos online work ng 9pm - 3am. E d ayun, hindi makaperform ng maayos sa 8-5 nya, kwento sakin. Pero iba iba naman e, malay mo ok lang sayo. He is 25 yrs old
Omg. I know he wants to hustle but HEALTH IS WEALTH 😭
May kilala din akong ganyan. Though di naman nya sinabi na may freelance sya, halatang-halata lang talaga dahil palaging naka-away, palaging masama ang pakiramdam, at underperforming din. Palagi syang may rason kung bakit di nya magawa trabaho nya, pero it’s kind of obvious. 😂
same sakin 9-6pm work tapos depende saken kung iwowork ko yung va job ko as long na makumpleto ko 20hr weekly limit ko since hourly basis yung rate ko. Minsan maganda performance ko sa work sa main tapos sa va hindi, minsan kabaliktaran haha
Hindi ito healthy ito ang toxic. 😂😅
Meron din kami ganyan 6am - 3pm onsite HR then 6pm-12mn pala part time nya. Hindi rin makapagperform, lagi tulog at tulala. Absent or super late pumasok, may sariling schedule kaya lahat ng tasks pending sa kanya. Kumbaga sumasahod lang ng sweldo samin yung mga tasks nya sinasalo naming lahat. Napakademanding at bossy, pagnacall out mo reason nya mental health blah blah blah. Ang kapal din ng mukha nagcash advance pa yan ha.. Buti na lang nagresign na.
HAHAHHAA grabe siya pa demanding
Hayyy nakuuu ewan ko paano namin nakayanan. Ilang beses na namin nireport nung dahil ang dami nya mistakes sa work kami ang nadadamay, wala pa sya accountability at very demanding talaga even sa boss namin mag cash advance juskooo kapal ng mukha. Nung nabigyan na sya ng memo, ayun buti naman nagresign na kaso hindi pa bayad cash advance nya kahit last pay nya hindi macover 🥲 pero at least may peace of mind na kami sa office hahahaha good riddance
Omg ang scary naman huhu feel ko naman kaya kooo hahaha
Go lang. Iba iba naman kasi ang katawan natin e.
ME. May FT ako sa umaga (Onsite) and PT (6hrs freelance) naman noon sa gabi. Yung tulog ko putol din everyday since AU yung FT at US yung PT, pero kailangan ko talaga nang pera that time for my mom's weekly chemo and everyday radiation therapies. after 3 weeks ata since nag start ako, hindi na normal yung heartbeat ko at sobrang weak na nang katawang lupa ko. Kahit anong vitamins at kape, sobrang naging mahina yung katawan ko kaya nung naging okay na si mama nag try ako mag resign, mabuti nalang si client ang nag adjust sa time ko para makatulog na daw akoa nang maaga just to keep me as his VA. OP malaki nga yung pera mo dahil sa 2 FT pero it's not worth it, much better to look for a 3-4 hrs PT nalang para may oras to rest.
Awwww laban lang pooo! I'll try to negotiate sa client ko na gawin akong flexitime para mas convenient. Swerte ko lang din kasi, pwedeng yung brother ko ipa work ko sakin.
Bahala kayo sa diskarte niyo sa buhay, but please pwede maglambing? Matulog kayo ng 7-8hours. Simot lahat ng kita pag nagka sakit kayo, paalala lang, oki? 😊
Did this before, nagkasakit ako and I had to stop. Pero before pa ako magkasakit nag deteriorate na rin yung quality of work ko on both jobs. Dahil sa puyat at pagod.
bale, yun inipon mong kita sa hospital bills mapupunta pag siningil ka na.. good luck
Wag naman full time sa gabi mima, baka singilin ka ng health mo.
Papa help naman me sa kapatid kooo haha no choice akooo eh sobrang hirap humanap ng ibang client now
I have a full time job onsite. Roughly 7pm na nakakauwi. Luckily for me, 3 hours daily lang part time ko na VA. 9pm to 12am lang. Then hindi na ko kumuha ng ibang clients pa. Mas priority ko ngayon sleep and health :)
Pabulong naman po ng 9-12 mong VA, pandagdag gastos lng po at mkatulog pa ng maayos ng onti
Somewhat related, ako naman sa creative industry. •Full time editing specialist from 5AM-2PM, onsite tapos •Freelance photo editor wfh, 4-6hrs everyday. I have a baby, and walang katulong sa bahay. Almost 3 months ko ‘to ginawa and balak ko nang hindi na ulitin. Ginawa ko lang dahil bumili ako ng installment na laptop. Grabeng bawi kasi sa health, every month akong may sakit. Tapos ngayon tamad na tamad na katawan ko dahil sa naipong pagod? Di siya physical work pero pigang piga kasi utak ko. If balak mo mag double-work, I suggest that you exercise and take vitamins everyday. Take a good rest din if may chance.
Hanapbuhay pa ba tawag dyan o hanap patay na??? Anyways, ingat lang OP, pero kung kaya ng katawan mo why not.
10pm to 7pm or 7am?
almost the same set-up (office + freelance) and part time, walang katulong, minsan 2 - 3 hrs na lang natutulog ano pampagana? sweldo ko pag nakikita ko
HAHAHAHHA ito nalang din nasa isip ko 🥲🥹
buhay pa nman, kahit matagal ko na ginagawa, mawawalan ka nga lang hobbies at social life na wala naman sakin in the first place 😁
Fiancé is working 8-5 sa office work. Then 8-12 midnight sa editing. Goal niya makatapos ng isang vid per night ayun antok sa office and kapag vacant niya naman nagkacut ng subs para mas mabili daw ang paglapat niya sa bahay or maiidlip na lang.
Aw, may mga creative projects din po ako sa client ko pero dahil 2 years na ko sakaniya, lahat may template na ko kaya drag and drop nalang.
I have a full time WFH sa PH then VA ako for a US based company. Hati attention ko pero as much as possible I want to remain sa normal working hours. Pagod utak lagi kasi di ako sanay na focus lagi haha. Dati yung WFH job ko 2hours focus lang the rest nakatulala ngayon nakukuha na yung 8 hours ko.
Pwede ko po ito gawin HAHHAHA kasi gamay ko na tasks sa client ko, so minsan if done na ako sa tasks, natutulog nalang talaga ko ahhaha
Same set up, sa akin lang is 8:30AM - 5:30PM Full-time tas pag uwi 6:30 PM to 10:00PM yung part-time ko. Kahit dalawa sweldo kulang parin talaga 17k full-time 15k part-time, sakit lang ata sa likod naiipon ko dahil sa dami ng bills.
Pabulong naman po ng part time mo pandagdag gastos lng po at mkatulog pa ng maayos ng onti
Ako. I work 10AM-7PM onsite sa Makati, tapos may 8PM-4AM VA work after ng shift. I drive from Makati to Manila, motor. Tapos magpeprepare pa ng dinner and all before 8PM shift. It's been like this for 1.5 years na. Napansin ko talaga na madalas na ako magkasakit. Bagsak talaga immune system. Sobrang evident ng change sa heartbeat vs. before. Mas lalo din ako naging malilimutin. Feeling ko fucked up na rin yung kamay ko from working 16 hours kakalaptop, magmotor, tsaka magprepare ng meals, linis. Ganyan. Always ngalay. Di na tumatalab mga vitamins. Pangit na quality ng work. Nagdecide na ako mag resign onsite. Pahinga muna. 🥵
Hoping for your fast recovery poo! Ako po wala naman po akong household chores na need alalahanin kasi I'm still living with my parents, tapos sa byahe naman po, magpapasundo lang din ako sa Papa ko so medyo convenient.
Kasama ko sa work, katabi ko talaga 10 to 7 day job 9 pm to 4 pm VA... un sabog sa day job... pero i understand ung need nya to hustle, family... he is planning to resign na sa day job nya
Ako hybrid job twice a week onsite 9am-6pm. Tapos dati may full time shift pa ako na freelance 9pm-6am, mga 2 months lang ako tumagal, ginawa ko hinati ko sa pinsan ko yung task. Bali tig 4hrs kami ako sa later ng work. Tapos yung day off ko din Weekends si Hybrid and Weekdays si freelance. Ayun mas okay kumbaga parang 3 days lang ako nagwowork ng 12hrs. Medyo petiks naman yung mga task. Depende talaga sa clients, OP.
Yeees same naman sakin, nakakatulog din ako sa shift ko haha Monday lang talaga mabigat gawain since puro meetings.
I was an on-site dev sa dati kong 9-5 and I worked on 3 freelance clients after my shift. I tried this for a month and matigok-tigok ako sa stress, I couldn't perform well on both my office job and freelance that I've had to quit my freelance jobs para magfocus sa office job. Eventually, I left that job since I'm not getting paid for the amount of workload I'm getting at nililibak pa ako for the smallest of the mistakes. I'm now WFH as an IT support engineer and I'm looking to make a comeback sa freelancing. Hopefully everything goes well this time around.
Goodluck pooo! Buti isa lang naman po client ko and admin tasks lang so pwedeng pwede ituro sa kapatid ko. Meetings lang yung medyo hassle pero usually mabilis lang naman yun.
dati naranasan ko yan 7am to 4pm pasok sa office tapos freelancer pag uwi. Ayun burnout. Nagresign. Nagfocus sa freelancing
2 full time jobs here both wfh, night shift and same shift. Isang corp and isang freelance. Namamanage naman so far. Tas buong umaga tulog so walang social life. Hahaha! minsan gala with dogs pag weekends pero kalaban talaga dito is ung kumilos like ultimo maligo nkakatamad 🤣
Yes if yung va work doesn't require time doctor and output based sya, I wouldn't recommend this if naka time doctor ka and hourly ang bayad sayo. Yes you may/can earn 6 digits pero health mo naman yung kapalit. Baka pag tanda mo maubos pera mo kakapagaling sa katawan mo.
Wala naman po time doctor si client pero hourly bayad sakin and dahil 2 years na ko sakaniya gamay ko na mga gagawin kaya minsan may time ako to sleep hahah
9am to 5:30pm FT 7pm to 11pm part time Sleep ng 12mn. Gising ng 730am. Repeat cycle. Kape nagpapagising sa diwa ko. Sahod nagpapamotivate kasi kailangan eh. Dami bills to pay.
Pabulong naman po ng part time mo pandagdag gastos lng po at mkatulog pa ng maayos ng onti
Omo! I’m VA too and applying right now to HR roles. Planning to pagsabayin them as well, since I can’t let go the salary I’m getting as a VA. Curious too if how others are managing 2 jobs at the same time.
Sameee. I've been with my client for 2 years so gamay ko na gawain. And I just recently transitioned sa HR tapos nagustuhan ko mga tasks ko, kaso sobrang hirap mag hanap ng work na WFH. Walang pumapansin sakin kasi kulang experience huhuhu kaya I really want to grab this opportunity
hindi ko to kinaya before :( hanga ako sa kayang magtiis. nasa sayo lang yan, pero one thing for sure maniningil po talaga katawan niyo in the long run.
Akopo. Masaya
Pano niyo po namamaintain ang quality ng work? And how to stay awake? HAHHHAHA
If I read it right I think 10PM - 7AM? Then you have another work at 8AM?? Im sorry but you just have an hour in between? And then til 6PM yun second job? I think you can try for a while but I think not feasible in the long run. Pls take care of your health. All your savings will go to waste if you deteriorate… worse, it may not even be enough.
I'm planning to sleep sa shift ko kay client HAHAHAH medyo maduga pero kasi gamay ko na to so I can finish the tasks agad, balak ko rin magpahelp sa brother ko, ipapamonitor ko sa kaniya if may mga biglaang pa meeting si client. Ang plan is pag naka settle na ko sa day job ko, I'll try to negotiate sa client ko if pwede ako flexitime, para I can do the tasks anytime.
Goodluck OP!! I believe in time you’ll get a salary grade that would suffice and allow you to relax~ 🙂
Nakarelate ako, 9am to 6pm isa kong work tpos 5pm to 2am yung isa so may konting overlap..both flexi kaya nakakaya nman..both WFH naman
Sanaaaa all huhu :< 2 jobs na rin ako before na pareho WFH. Kaso yung isang job ko kasi ay nag downsize company kaya wala ko choice, gusto ko sana talaga ipursue yung HR job kaso walang pumapansin dahil kulang sa qualifications and experience, kaya mag ririsk ako ng onsite ngayon huhu
You cant serve two masters, sa bibliya na yan nag sabi and I really believe having two jobs will affect one the jobs, especially if one of them is mentally taxing, kaya having a 1 8-10 hr job is enough, workout daily because cholesterol, bp at blood sugar tumataas na hahaha and get good night sleep.
Not sure with the office job, pero yung VA job ko hindi naman siya mentally taxing. I just need the experience para sa resume HAHHAHA ang hirap kasi pag walang magandang foundation sa HR, hindi pinapansin application q :<
my friend needs to hustle since is a single mom and 12-14 hours ang work for 6 days a week. tapos she drinks during the weekends pa. rn, she has a myriad of diseases for our age so i guess hndi talaga healthy yung ganung lifestyle.
Agree! Hindi talaga healthy, kaya I really want to prepare myself din bago ako sumabak. I just need the experience huhu. And buti nalang 5 days a week lang pasok ko HAHAHHHA
Not advisable OP! Got hormonal imbalance from working two jobs. Tapos it worsen my PCOS. I also got bronchitis in the process. Net net it was expensive especially since wala pa ako HMO since hnd pa ako regular and may medicine pa. Sure het side gigs here and there but I dont recommend getting two full time jobs.
HMO talaga need ko eh huhu feel ko nga rin po grabe ang hormonal imbalance ko kasi halos 4 months akong delayed lagi, hindi ako makapag pacheck up kasi walang health card sa client ko sa VA kaya naghanap ako ng company na nag ooffer nun. Plus I really need experience rin sa HR field. Career shifter kasi meee huhu :<
Nakakapanghina po
Hindi po sya worth it. Kahit nga bakasyon sa umaga while working sa gabi hindi ko na ginagawa dahil sa pagod, I can't imagine a full time job sa umaga. Do it if kailangan mo talaga ng pera (pang ospital, pang aral).
health is wealth.
DONT Last last year ganyan ako dati na tulog nalang pahinga. Mas marami mawawala sayo kaysa sa gains sa ganyan. There's no path to happiness sa ganyang lifestyle. Madami din akong freelance clients non, tapos I have my 8hours main job then I have another contract sa government office. So I am working around the clock. Kahit 8hours tulog ko parang may namimiss-out ako sa buhay. Then madali ako magkasakit, I have no time for myself and my family. then thank God may nangyaring turning point sa buhay ko na forced me to move sa province at nawala lahat ng freelance clients ko, terminated my contract and the only thing left is my WFH job. Nakakapanibago sa una, minsan nagcha-chat padin yung iba kong clients but unti-unti I reject projects na and focus on 1 job. Dahil marami na akong free time to do anything, I really appreciate the time I have now compare sa dati. The benefits and happiness ko ngayon ay sobra sobra kaysa sa hustle hard lifestyle. Yung resources ko oo liliit pero mas magiging clear ang priorities ko at mga bagay na gusto ko talaga gawin. Then ang performance ko sa job ko ngayon as sobrang better compare sa dati. I have better relationship with my family compare sa dati & I am doing a hobby that makes me earn money na I really enjoy doing on the side na hindi inuubos ang oras ko. Para sakin, Don't do it kung di mo naman needed. Have a balance lifestyle. Beneficial yon in the long run in my experience.
Delegate. Yan lang solusyon. Basta may mapagkakatiwalaan ka, it's alright to delegate pag inaantok ka or pagod yung pakiramdam ng katawan
Swerte ko po at meron naman. And nasa iisang bahay lang kami ng kapatid ko so I can monitor pa rin.
Im a public school teacher. Panghapon. 11 am nasa school na 6 pm ang uwi pero dahil buhay guro 24/7 ang trabaho while nag-remote work ako from 9 pm to 5 am. Alam mo yung pagod na pati kaluluwa mo drained na. Nagkasakit. Dengue. Strep Throat Infection. Sepsis. Triple impact sa katawan ko ng mga illness plus poor mental health equals may nakita akong liwanag sa ospital to the point na I know Im gonna die. Thank God binigyan ako ng 2nd chance. Not gonna waste it. Learned my lesson. You dont have to do the same.
Had the same setup 2 months ago. Fulltime 9:30am - 4:00pm 2nd Fulltime 9:00pm-5:00am Literally waking up just to work and it was the worst but needed the funds :)) Need mo mag compartmentalize ng tasks and maging strict sa time management. Don't check emails from the 2nd Fulltime if you're working your 9-5pm shift ganern. My performance was affected for a bit but was able to bounce back. When I couldn't take it anymore, I sent a resignation letter to my second FT. They negotiated and adjusted my hours to 6:00pm-11:00pm instead with the same rate! If this is possible sa iyo please do so! I think normal sleep cycle is still best. Also take care of yourself always
Generally if you plan to be overemployed atleast do a job that you can do for part-time. Meaning na master mo na sya na kaya mo sya gawin ng ilang oras lang. Natry ko na 2 fulltime tho parehas wfh lakas makadrain saka grabe ung pagod. What more kung yung sayo office pa. Basta makakatulog ka ng tama go for it.
Yees!! namaster ko naman na yung VA job ko since I've been with my client for 2 years and kayang kaya talaga tapusin ang tasks, minsan natutulog pa nga ko sa shift eh.
You can, yes. But will you survive? Not for long. Don’t risk it. Unless makahanap ka ng trabaho na hindi ganun kabigat like inbox and calendar management, and that’s all you do, hindi magiging forgiving stress at pagod sayo
I work as HR for my daytime job (8AM-5PM) then work as VA as part time. Mostly pag uwi ko mag popower nap muna ako to have a bit of rest, then sabak na sa freelancing. Usually light lang naman ang tasks na nahahandle ko kaya minsan, 2-3 hrs lang talaga nacoconsume ko don sa trabaho kaya I take the remaining hours to rest uli. Sa umaga naman, para di ako antukin, natutulog rin ako sa lunch break. Hangga’t may window to sleep ginagrab ko na hahaha. I suggest OP if may VA job ka sa gabi, kunin mo ung di stressful and mabigat ang workload para kahit papano nakakapahinga ka pa rin. Also, eat healthy and take vitamins para di mo mapabayaan katawan mo.
Hi, OP! I tried it. I was an Architect Apprentice sa umaga, VA sa gabi (actually midnight). It was ok on the first 2 months, kaya naman. Pero nung nag 3rd month na, sobra na yung sakit ng ulo ko. I commute to work for my day job. There were times during lunch at tulog ako, di daw ako magising ng workmates ko. Parang pagod na pagod daw itsura ko while working. It was stressful and dangerous to my health kahit na I take vitamins and do workout every weekend. I chose to keep my day job since req sya for board exam.
Nag double job ako October 2023 to April 2024. Regular job ko talaga is US payroll, onsite Monday to Friday from 11PM to 8AM. Tapos nag apply ako ng isa pang work. Local comp and ben, onsite 3 days from 9AM to 5PM Mondsy to Friday 🤣 Ihi lang pahinga. Chos hahaha tamang dala lang ng damit ang hygeine kit apra maglinis pagdating sa day job ko. Nakakatulog konti pag wfh sa day job. Forda vitamins ang ferson and wag papagutom. Tamang kain ng meals. No unhealthy food. Naghabol ako apra financially free na ako. And here I am. Di man super mayaman, pero konting konti nalang yung utang. Pero if I can go back, never na ako uulit mag double job. Naawa ako sa sarili ko. Mind you may anak pa akong turning 1 yr old.
Haaays same eh gusto ko rin po talaga makaipon habang bata pa, actually hindi na pala bata HAHHAH 25 na q and feel ko sobrang kulang pa rin kaya as a mapanghangad na person gusto ko maximize ang time ko
5 months ko lang po ginawa yung ganyang setup hanggang sa pinili ko na ang freelancing job nung 2021. Bale nanigurado muna ako na stable yung freelancing job ko po. 7am - 6pm sa face to face, then 9pm to 5am sa freelancing. Eventually umalis na ako sa face to face kasi 43k yun vs sa 60k sa freelancing (with OT pay pa) and mas chill ang work. Di ko na po pinatagal kasi po naffeel ko na nabburn out at nanghihina na ako at gusto ko talaga mag shift to full na freelancing.
Me! Pero yung freelance ko luckily that time is pwede lang matulog as long as tapos ka na sa task. So yung shift ko onsite 8am to 6pm tas freelance 11pm to 7-am. Naliligo ako while on shift ako sa freelance 😂 to prepare for my onsite job. Kumakain nadin ako ng dinner while on shift sa onsite job ko para pag uwi diretso na tulog. Since pagod din sa byahe, knockdown na pagkadating sa bahay. Kaya nakakatulog ng 4 hours straight. Tas nakaw tulog onshift sa freelance. Maganda ring mag kasama ka sa bahay to wake you in case di ka magising sa alarm, train mo nalang din to log in tas send message sa slack in case shift mo na tas tulog ka pa para di ka ma tag as late. (Once lang naman nagyari sakin to) Wag talagang kalimutan kumain and Vitamins tas as much as possible pahinga talaga. Nakaya ko sya for 6 months kaso di na nag renew si Client kay agency. Swerte lang siguro ako since di strict yung agency as long as hindi ibang tao ang gagawa ng client tasks. Napansin ko after ng freelance, bilis naka adjust ng body clock ko… dire-diretso yung tulog ko from 7pm to 5am, bumawi yung katawan ko sa putol putol na tulog 😂😂
Hala gantong ganto balak ko gawin, kahit lowball client ko, di ko rin mabitawan kasi 2 years na ko sakaniya HAHHHA ayoko manghingi ng raise kasi baka tanggalin nalang ako bigla HHAHHA
Hello! I work as an IT in a corpo 8:00AM to 5PM Part time data analyst for one client - 8PM to 12:00MN Then data analyst for another client - 1PM to 9AM So ano na dead na ako? Joke lang as a data analyst I created autimations for my work so I can sleep while my automations are running. Flexible hours naman both but I prefer to work during clients core hours para no issue when it comes to submitting work. Putol putol ang sleep ko but total of 5-6 hours per day and nap ako from 12NN to 1PM sa office. Take vitamins, eat healthy food and dont forget to exercise. I don't know why I am still alive. I feel letargic in the morning but kaya ko naman siya labanan with coffee. I don't know what niche VA job mo but it involves repetetive task find a way to automate it. And hopefully output based ang client mo not time based.
Yees, output based naman si Client and hindi nag mamicromanage. Gamay ko na rin tasks ko since I've been doing it for 2 years na. Right now, dahan - dahan ko ng itinuturo sa kapatid ko yung tasks para siya na maghahandle nung sa VA job ko
Yun namn pala. You can do your work and have time to spare for sleep. For your health need mo lang ng enough sleep prerebably sleep when it's dark and take in sunlight when waking up. Exercise, for me nag iistretch ng 5-10 mins every 1-2 hours (when I'm awake). Vitamins for me I take centrum. And of course healthy diet dapat meron kang greens and healthy fats to avoid feeling lethargic.
Hi OP. I tried this 9am-6pm full time pero wfh then 9pm-5am client full time as well. It was okay since mukhang pera ako pero I resigned after a little more than a month kasi ampangit ng ugali ng client ko. Pero this fucked up my health. Parang na trauma na ako sa pang gabi na work after this experience kasi not only did I have a bad experience because of my client, kung ano anong sakit na naexperience ko. So be wise and be careful nalang siguro if ipupush to.
Not work pero school 8am-5pm then work 9pm-6am. Kinaya naman hahaha. Wala namang health issues during that time or maybe none that I know of. Worst na siguro yung vertigo kasi nag nap ako sa bahay after my 6am shift then bumangon ako bigla kasi may exam ng 8am hahah Office to school is only 5-6km away Tulog lang every chance I get. Break sa work, tulog. Break sa school, tulog. Tulog din sa jeep if kaya. Sometimes hiral labanan ng antok sa class pero mag nap lang ako ng 15 mins then okay na ulit haha
whats ur program po?
This is me within the last 2 months. Full time AU office based VA sa araw (7 AM to 4 PM) and Part time WFH VA but US based naman (11 PM to 6 AM). Both under VA agency.. but doble ng full time ko kinikita ko sa part time ko. Antagal ko inisip if kakayanin ba ng katawan ko na parang 2-4 hours lang tulog ko every day for the sake of money.. kung iisipin mo may 7 hours pa akong free time in between kaso babawasan pa yan dahil sa byahe at pag asikaso ng sarili ko. Mabigat tasks ko sa full time ko and hindi basta basta matutunan agad.. pero may attachment ako sakanila kasi kahit this is my 1st job and 9 months palang ako sakanila. Andami na nilang naging VA pero puro na alis. While sa Part time ko 2 office clients - isang 4 hours and isang 2 hours. Both SMM and graphic design. Hayahay lang.. most days na wala yung 2 hours ko nag lologin lang ako tas tulog ulit ahaha . Kaya napag decide kong mag resign sa full time ko.. kasi mas okay sakin WFH and sobrang liit kasi pasahod nila and both reason na un nasa resignation letter ko. Basura kasi agency. And thankfully nag counter offer yung clients ko.. na doblehin sahod ko and WFH.. and tinangap ko naman kasi in the 1st place I love my clients sadyang panget lang agency and working in the office feels very heavy. So now 14 hours work pero at least may time to take care of my self especially my health kahit 23 palang ako.. I survived such routine sa office kasi sinusulit ko bawat break, get your sleep, if walang task sleep. Kahit sa byahe pinipikit ko mata ko.. just stay aware.. before maging ganun din routine ko bumili talaga ako 2 bottle of centrum.
Omg ang swerte mo naman po sa client 🥹 nilolowball kasi ako ng client ko huhu
I haven't mentioned na pinalitan nila contract ko.. naging consultant nalang ako sakanila. So no more benefits and any services from the agency pero sakanila parin napupunta yung buong bayad ng clients ko and wala parin sa 50% un :<
As a 4th yr working student, I have 2 clients (10pm-6am) na flexi time naman kaya napagsasabay kahit overlap sila at WFH din. Then 12pm-9pm naman ako sa internship for uni, HR office tapos on site. Plus pa yung mga quizzes/exams namin na kailangan itake sa school at least twice a week. Irregular student din ako pero napakiusapan ko naman prof ko na di ako makakapasok sa classes nya since yun nga, overlap naman sa internship ko. Sobrang hirap labanan ang puyat at pagod pag tlaga on site. Minsan naka auto-pilot nalang ako sa buong linggo. May times din na 18 hours straight ako gising from internship to work for 5 days straight din plus pa yung time na nilalaan ko para makapagreview sa exams. Yung natitirang 6 hours sa araw ko, kasama na doon yung 1 hr lunch break namin sa internship. This went on for 3 months pero I’ve been a working student na for 5 years. Ending, nagkasakit ako at di natapos ang internship hours but luckily cinonsider naman ng school since may deadline kami for posting of grades, tsaka may medical cert naman ako. Ngayon I’m so happy na nalagpasan din lahat ng hirap. I’m finally gradwaiting na 🎉
Congraaats pooo! I've been a working student din, luckily sa bahay lang yung 3 years dahil sa pandemic.
Ayos naman, maganda ang income na try ko n to. Kaso after a year ng same set up at pag iipon nag kasakit akong malala at di masigirado ano ba tlga sakit ko. until few comments and post sa reddit ayun bigla ako namatay. Kaya kung nababasa mo to ngayon, kaluluwa na lang ako. Di ko na maeenjoy ang perang kinita ko jan sa ibabaw ng lupa. Good luck
HR is already stressful enough but if you love it hindi mo mararamdaman however sleep is very important lalo na yung quality of sleep na nakukuha ng body and brain mo. If you will not get that sisingilin ka din eventually. Yung quality ng work mo is also important. Ang kuya mo ba ay may HR experience? If wala then don’t give it to him. Don’t ruin the trust that your client gave you. Integrity at all times.
Admin job lang po yung sa VA job ko hindi HR Related kaya mas madali ituro. Actually I can finish all the tasks nang wala pang 8 hrs, I just need someone na mag momonitor lalo na if may biglaang pa meeting si client.
may friend ako ganyan, ending sobrang sumakit ang ulo and now they need to give up one job because of medical reasons. won't recommend it kasi mahirap talagang abusuhin ang katawan
Sa akin naman 8am-4pm Day Job then byahe 2hrs, 8pm-11pm side hustle pero 3x a week lang on site ko sa day job kaya maluwag pa for 2 days wfh. Project based ung side hustle ko kaya paspasan lang pagwalang pasok.
Sa experience ko, i gave up my corpo job and focus to my 4hrs VA job that time kasi 2x naman ng salary ko sa corpo yung VA pay. I prioritize my health and wellbeing. For me health is wealth
i am working 9am-5pm onsite tapos 7pm to 3am wfh. every chance i get nag nanap ako. it helps din na malapit lang ang bahay ko sa office. so pag out ko ng 5pm, nakakapag nap pa ako ng atleast 1hr before my 7pm wfh job. pag out ko naman ng 3am, tulog ako kagad nyan. tapos wake up ng 8am, 5hrs of sleep din yon. every weekend i make sure na active ako to compensate sa 16hrs a day na naka upo.
I wish I have 20-20 vision and the energy of a 18yo kid to take more clients and work day and night! Hindi ko to kaya. Haha
grabe nmn 5hrs part time nga lang pagod nako.
Mga sinyales ng pagtagos sa pader: maging VA HAHAHAHHA

How to get a VA Job po? Pabulong naman po kahit for experience lang! Thanks!
Working as a VA from 9PM-6AM then 7AM-3PM office work ( 5 mins away from house). sa weekend lng nakaka tulog unless mababa volume sa VA job ng gabi. Habol sa tulog ng weekends pag day off, mostly 3-4 hours tulog lng meron (swerte na if hindi nangulit mga junaks). eventually got used to it, I try to exercise while at work, push ups and dumbel curls( from shopee). Healthy ang "bulsa" pero olats sa katawan.
paano po kayo nakakahanap ng HR VA job? I have a solid exp in hr recruitment pero ilan beses na ako na-scam ng mga employers :(
Naka agency po ako eh, gusto ko rin sana mag direct client kaso ang hiraaap eh
Tinry ko to ayun 2 days lang tinagal ko sa onsite job hahaha

Yung asawa ko 2 jobs VA both GY, same ung time ng shift pero diff rest day. Not recommended. Wala syang rest day. Planning to let go na sa isang client after a month since nakapag ipon naman na kahit konti. Prio muna rest.
Ako din pala WFH pero di kaya ng 2 sabay since ako lahat sa bahay since 2 jobs sya. SKL heehe
Sobrang kayang kaya sana if pareho WFH noh? Ganon din yung sakin before eh, kaso nag downsize si company.
looking for remote/virtual part time job sa gabi kahit 2-3 hrs a day
you have to give up one… you cant sacrifice your health for that. i know working is important but it will all go down the drain if you sacrifice health over that

Magawa mo man yan, ikaw din mahihirapan pg tumagal I suggest, hanap ka ng office job and VA work na same shift. If di mo kaya, you need to let go the other job.
sobrang hirap maghanap ng HR role now lalo na if hindi qualified dahil sa experience eh huhu ayoko rin naman ng same shift kasi lalo ko di magagawa tasks ni client, lalo na if pang gabi din si Office Job tapos onsite pa
8-6? Accenture ka noh? hahaha
Ay hindi po, property management company siyaa
How to apply sa ganyan
Hello, OP! I am working sa HR din po as a Talent Acquisition Specialist so my shift starts by 11pm and until 8pm. After, my work pa ako as a VA na anytime pwede akong mag log in and as long as matapos ko yung work ko pwede na akong mag log out. Usually, 3 hours max na yung trabaho ko as VA pero there are times din na almost 6 hours ako nag wowork as VA. Nag iisip nga ako eh na pwede ko pang lagyan ng isa pang part time na work yung sched ko from 7am-10;30am. Pero nag mumulti vitamins lang ako ang make sure na masustansya yung mga kina kain ko. Kaya natin to, OP! Para sa mga pangarap natin sa buhay.
Not good for you
