I mean it sounds like a no-brainer to me, unless you’re already struggling with work/life balance. I think your 20s is the time you should be jumping on opportunities like these when you might not be able to later in life. Up to you, but I’d probably do it.

to me, extra work is antonymous with a happy comfortable existence, so my choice would be obvious—especially given the scenario that i'm already making my means

a less jaded and more ambitious person than myself may respond differently, but it ultimately comes down to what you want to do with your life

personally, i treasure my free time, and any sacrifices made towards it are like direct blows to my soul, sooo

money is only good insofar that you desire to live confortably. if youre already doing so i wouldnt push for more--you can't buy a day of your life with money.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I'd do it for the experience if it was something I was interested in, and only for as long as It felt worth it. So long as it was something I could handle on top of everything else.

I'd take the free time

Edit: Actually, I might look into something like motorcycles or some business venture and then work the weekends for a limited amount of time so that I could buy them.

Personally I'd take the money and save for something important, plus filling out your resume is always good. You have to make sure you're not spreading yourself too thin though.

‘The most inoffensive user on this website’ - Verbatim
It all depends on:
-your satisfaction with your current situation, and
-whether you think the benefits of this change outweigh the drawbacks.

Do you have something you would rather be doing during that time? Or do you have a purpose for that money that justifies the extra time investment (even if it’s just futureproofing your account/fast tracking major financial goals)?

Personally I’d go for it in the context that I can still have enough time to myself that my working week isn’t my entire life, and that the contract is only temporary and I can choose to not renew it if I am dissatisfied with the change of lifestyle.

Hmm...
Personally, I value my free time so much more than I do extra money. If you have a job already that you can live on and are accumulating money with, I'd absolutely pass on extra work (but again, that's just me).

I mean, unless it's "fuck you" level extra money. Then, maybe.

Signature goes here.
I would take the offer, not for the money but for experience and addition to your credentials.

However, keep in mind I'm incredibly ambitious and a total workaholic so both of those things is swaying my response.

“fuck you" level extra money.
what
you know, a big fuck off pile of money
That makes more sense, I don’t get why “fuck you” would be a large amount of money. I got what he was implying but to say “‘fuck you’ money’ seems like it’s a small amount of money, as if it were an insulting amount.

It's a pretty common saying my guy.

This was also my angle. I wouldn’t consider myself a workaholic but this is coming from a guy who graduated 4 months ago and hasn’t been able to land a job in my field since.  I wish I would have done more to distinguish myself when I had the chance (internships, clubs, etc.)

But if you basically just see it as an odd job, not worth the time then don’t do it.

I agree with this, but there's also an argument to be made that more money allows you to better spend your free time. Kinda like quality vs quantity. More work might mean less free time overall but it can also make the time you do have more enjoyable and memorable. What's better: 10 days of free time you spend lounging around the house, or 5 days of free time that you spend in a luxury hotel abroad while going on safaris in Africa? It's an extreme example but the same thing kinda holds true in a more mundane setting as well. Staying or eating at nicer places when you're out, grabbing the special edition of any game/book/music for any system the moment it comes out without thinking twice, buying every piece of tech/clothing/whatever comes to mind, going to any event you might have the opportunity to no matter where it is or what the admission price might be... Having to sacrifice some free time always sucks but it might be worth it if doing so allows you to spend that time in perhaps better or more enjoyable ways.

lounging around the house is way better

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Would Brexit affect the job if you took it?

Also, would it cut into your streams, and how much do you enjoy doing those (on top of everything else you consider important in your free time)?

The only way I'd say go for it is if sacrificing a weekend = getting more time off down the line. So essentially it'd be time for time, where you'll end up with more. Sacrifice a weekend for 2 weeks off later or something. At a certain point you don't really need more money. I assume you do alright for yourself already given your occupation.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
I always go for more money.

At my job, I unload trailers. The more boxes and trailers I do, the more bonus money I make on my check. At first I didn't care because I'm already making money on the clock, but once I started to see more and more on my checks I was motivated to put more production in.

An Amazon warehouse is going to open here soon and I already got my eyes on working there as they get paid more money for what I do at my current job.
