job sites that let you filter for remote and part time

People often use their professional networks to be hired for such (more meaningful work and higher pay). Or you might try your luck on freelancer sites (sometimes messy and pay varies).

Well, for some reason, none of my coworkers or ppl that i know work remotely or on any side project that require help. I've tries various freelance websites, including upwork but 0 luck on finding firnd project. Kinda frustrating at this point

That's unfortunately the reality that more frustration is there than success. While keep trying, you might consider some personal projects. People used to build small apps and sell the licenses/distribute through app stores. But again, likely more frustration than success.

Finding a second job without scaring off recruiters and potential employers is very difficult. However, possible. Finding any job takes time, and a lot of patience. I used to work two jobs during my uni studies, now I'm a freelancer and was lucky enough to have a fulltime contract and now a series of short term, no deadline, contracts Remember that having two employments is not easy. Couple of times had to be in two meetings at the same time. And not those useless kinds of meetings where you just sit and stare, but where your input is necessary... Make sure that the extra job/contract is worth it. Consider switching your current job for a new one with higher pay, it is the easier alternative that won't make you go insane. upwork never worked for me either. Like I've said, it takes time, even to land the fulltime job At one point I was looking for an 80% job, got an offer from an awesome company to lead a project, but they bailed since they thought I wouldn't have enough time.... At corporations you have infinite time imo, cause anything takes an eternity to happen.

Because of that i'm confident i can work in second job. Rn i'm in thar corporate job, where most of the meetings are useless and doesn't need my input. Most of all, task that generally takes me around 4 5h, they estimate it like 1 week task cos of past experience. So eventually i'm left with lots of free time. And i want to use that free time to earn more money, not waste it, like i feel like i'm doing rn
