second job
Moonlighting gig
A second job is employment taken in addition to one's primary job, usually to supplement income.
The phrase implies the first job doesn't pay enough: She picked up a second job to cover her student loans.
A second job typically involves different hours—evenings, weekends, or flexible gigs that fit around the main employment.
