Paging IT Proffessionals - IE Remote Desktop / Virtual Machines

From an IT perspective, I wouldn't let you on my assignment's network just to remote into another company's network to do two jobs at the same time. It poses too many security vulnerabilities and can be tracked. It's an especially bad idea if the type of work you're doing involves for instance healthcare patient access records or other forms of work that require client confidentiality that you don't want to run the risk of being breached.

That said, if you wanted to keep your gig running without using a work network to remote into another company's network, then you'd need to opt into an unlimited hotspot plan, and use your phone's connection to tether and remote in with on a separate personal laptop. This is assuming you trust whatever personal data you're responsible for at your work is safe from being hacked on a mobile hotspot network that you remote in with. I imagine you'd draw the eyes of suspicion among coworkers at your cubicle having a personal laptop remoted in along with a work laptop in your workstation though.

If you have unlimited data with hotspot tethering capabilities on your phone, but haven't opted into unlimited hotspot data transferring while on a Windows machine you can open a command line prompt and put in the following to give yourself unlimited hotspot data transfer:


netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

netsh int ipv6 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

Most mobile companies track hotspot usage by tracking the hop limit. The default hop limit is 64. If you tether from your phone, the hoplimit of data transfer goes from phone at 64, to your windows machine at 63. Therefore it knows you're using hotspot to data transfer. By setting the default hop limit to 65, you trick mobile companies into think the 64th hop to your windows machine is your mobile phone, thereby circumventing the data cap you likely have on your phone plan when you tether with it.

Personally speaking, I think it's a bad idea to continue both gigs especially if the type of work you're doing is sensitive in it's nature with respect to confidentiality.

The IT security network when I go into work blocks mobile phone connections on site, so even mobile connections are jammed. My idea wouldn't work in this case. It all really depends how seriously both of your jobs exercise caution and prevention with their IT security. And if they're lax, the following question is whether you should exploit their lax policies to keep that side hustle going given the nature of your jobs knowing it could eventually catch up to you and potentially damage your work reputation from that point forward.

 

Yeah - in short hotspot/non-work network is only option to attempt this at an in person job (or adjust hours if one is really flexible etc)... Unless you have an extremely small business you go into and are head of networking/it and run everything it's not worth the risk of getting caught. I've seen people think they know how to bypass everything and while it might work for a while... It's not worth the one time slip up or the data breach (especially if you're dealing with important customer/health - really any private data).

I think if main job actually makes you go in part time the easiest solution will be working a little longer hours on the side if they're flexible, that way you can still somewhat do both but not get burned out. Ie- work 3 days from home and do a lot of side gig during that time and if side gig is really flexible on hours work after hours on days you're in office etc.

You should play hardball though. There’s a workforce shortage and people are demanding 100% WFH. It’s a big selling point with any recruiter who contacts me. **** going in to an office to assuage your should-be-retired old fashioned boss’s insecurities.

 

You sir have made a sale!

 

Back to the office for me. Ain't no accounting hotties up in my crib.

 

This is a good idea. I've been using the extra time at home to do grad school work but I'll hopefully be done by Feb '22. My job is now permanently at-home so I might do something like this when school is done.

 

No at home for me anymore either.
