Would it not make sense for me to work two 30hr jobs instead?
Other than opting out of the 48-hour work week limit, are there any legal or financial concerns to doing this?
I would pay tax twice I suppose, but the takehome would still be better than what I'm doing now, right?
Yeah, you would get fired it caught. But we live in an age of layoffs. You are doomed anyway.
I have done this for years. There is a whole community of us over at /r/overemployed. Yeah, you would get fired it caught. But we live in an age of layoffs. You are doomed anyway.
If it takes you 60hrs/week to do 39hrs/week, you're not going to be able to fit 2*30hrs/week into 60hrs/week.
I fill the extra time because I want to. I just now want to start getting laid for it.

In Germany you just need to declare to your employer that you have a second job and that it won't interfere with their hours.
I just want to know if its worth it, money/time-wise

The extra hours I do are more for my sense of perfectionism than to do with keeping up. I fill the extra time because I want to. I just now want to start getting laid for it.
Why not get a job that pays better, especially if you are willing to work those sorts of hours. There's much to be said for having a life outside of work and not wrecking your health.
• Start working max 40 hours per week at your current job.
• Find a new job with higher salary, where you only work 30-50 hours/week.
