I've been working for Uber while searching for a more stable job, and I'm starting to question if this flexible gig work is actually helping or hindering my job hunt. On one hand, it allows me to adjust my schedule for interviews and keeps my savings from dwindling too quickly. However, I’ve noticed that it can easily consume more time than I intended, making the job search feel longer. I’ve seen others in similar situations, like someone doing DoorDash, who mentioned needing to set limits on their hours because the gig work was taking up too much time. I'm curious to hear from anyone else who has juggled gig work while job hunting—did it help you stay afloat, or did it end up becoming a distraction?
