| Mar 2, 2023 at 11:29 | comment | added | slebetman | They're not asking you to do 2 jobs. They're asking you to split your time/effort between 2 jobs. In theory this would be 50/50 so in total it's still one job worth of time/effort. Do note however that any time you try to do something 50/50 you tend to end up needing to do 60/60 - you'll need to work 120% or more of your regular effort because juggling between tasks also take effort. It's up to you weather it's worth doing the additional effort for the next 6 months or not. But from the point of view of your employer all they are asking from you is 50/50. | |
| Mar 2, 2023 at 9:42 | comment | added | nvoigt♦ | Can you explain what you feel is the "exploitative" part of that offer? It seems you would work the same hours and for the same money as you do today, right? Would the new role be so significantly different in those regards, that working your old hours for your old salary would be "exploiting" you? | |
| Mar 2, 2023 at 8:05 | comment | added | Michael | The only danger with a 50/50 project split is that you end up feeling stressed and pressured in both. Make sure to manage your time and expectations appropriately. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 23:20 | comment | added | Hilmar | The offer is perfectly reasonable and fair. Establishing a new role in a company generally requires someone who is flexible, can improvise and is reasonably comfortable with ambiguity and risk. You need to decide whether you want/can be that person or not. If you are looking for a guaranteed reward, this is not the role for you. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 21:26 | comment | added | Michael McFarlane | Nothing I read suggests you are doing the work of two people. It sounds like you are half-time on one project and half time on another. That's very typical. If my impression is wrong, please clarify the post. | |
