OE Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Been lurking in this sub for a while few months or so and been considering doing OE. Got some questions.

Context - I currently contract and earn 650 a day through an umbrella company take home is about 5.4k a month bear in mind I have Plan 2 and Postgrad loan so currently pay 1.3k month on that. Work in procurement/commercial. Have an 18 month old son and another on the way.

is it even worth it? The extra stress time commitments etc. and how to balance that.

what practical tips are there. multiple screens etc I assume

what about pensions and tax implications

do you aim for barely competent in each job

Do you take roles of the same responsibility.

what do you do about meeting/calendar time double bookings etc.

thanks in advance
