</span>Only from the employer's perspective. All else being equal, the smartest<br>
move an employee can make is to get the most money possible.<br>

</span>That pre-supposes the existence of sufficient appropriate part-time jobs<br>
with guaranteed-compatible schedules. Given that the *vast* majority of<br>
employers of networking specialists[1] would have sufficient work for a<br>
full-time position, and most ops jobs have some on-call component, I<br>
would consider it unlikely that there is going to be a large volume,<br>
percentage-wise, of people able to take your advice.<br>
<br>
On the upside, at least we're not the US, where taking multiple part-time<br>
jobs instead of one full-time job completely screws with your ability to<br>
access affordable medical care. Yikes.<br>

able to crawl out of, my job isn't to stand back and say "That's a *real*<br>
nice hole you're digging there".<br>
