Should I take up this job offer of 1.8k basic (gross just <2k)?

I have been freelancing for the past 2 years and only average a net profit of 2k/month. I like what I'm doing but I'm under immense pressure mainly from myself to "keep up" with the market and my peers, who are all bringing in 3.5-4k monthly. I started looking for employment to supplement my freelancing income and only have this offer atm. I am afraid that the opportunity cost of taking up this 1.8k job will eat into my freelancing career too much, and there's no prospect for the job anyway. :/

Hi there! I think you should really take up this job offer offering u 1.8k basic - 2k per month. I am currently working and earning the same as you and I am happy with the stage of life I am now.

I have friends whom are earning 3.5-4.5k per month. They are even close friends as me and I don’t feel like they earn more they are happy they have to pay this pay that. At first when i got my first full time job I was like why not go ahead with this job which I love doing it the most! My friends said don’t join this company instead find a higher pay job, I said no and I stand my ground and was hired and then confirmed after 3 months probation. It was an amazing journey .

I don’t regret earning lesser than my diploma friends which I also attained a dip cert. I may not be rich or capable of buying a lot of things for example shopping but I am happy I can survive my life up till today.

I do freelancing too but my FT job takes most of my days and not much freelancing work loas so hence I manage to save $1K a month which is like 60% of my pay every month since the first day at the first month of my pay cheque I managed to save at least 1k$ every month.

have faith and keep doing what u love to do. Be genuine and u go farrrr #seedly helps me a lot sometimes:)
