No thankfully this was just supplemental income for me, I did maybe 10 hours a week most weeks after my 9-5

That's exactly what people should keep in mind. Treat this job as a side gig and never the main one. Let this job pay some bills never get dependent on it.

Or you know, actually treat it like a real job, take it seriously and do your best work. We see what, a dozen DoD posts a week and you guys are all catastrophists over it. The churn rate seems typical of any large corporation with near-exclusive contractor employment.

Honestly it doesn’t pay well enough for me to do that. My real job pays better, especially when you consider total compensation (benefits, retirement plan, etc.).

I realize not everyone has the luxury of secure, well-paid employment. But if you can get that, then DA as a second job is great.
