In my experience, no.
A full-time software engineer job is usually 9+ hours per day. Add even a minimal commute, and you're getting maybe 4 hours sleep. That'll only work for a few weeks at most.
If you found jobs that were a genuine 7h or 8h a day, 5 days a week, with no need to ever do "over time" or whatever ... that's minimum 14h/day, an hour for commuting, an hour for eating and showering, and do all your life stuff on the weekend, and you've got 8 hours to sleep.
So I guess it could theoretically work, but why would you do that to yourself?
- evex 8y agoIts just a brain fart really, I think i will have 2 job offers soon, and they’re both 7hr jobs, i was thinking what could go wrong if I took both, 1 remote and 1 local with like 10min commute. One or two years of this, could get me to 200k in savings... which i really like, but I have to see if it worth it
- evex 8y agoTho if im not able to do overtime for any of the two jobs, i will come off as not a “team player” for both companies.
- mtmail 8y agoYou should tell both about that plan. Usually private arrangements outside work is non of the company's business. But I had many contracts that explicitly rules out further work or needed approval.
- evex 8y agoHm, yea I dont think employers agree that you take another fulltime job outside work, they might allow side-projects or a bit of consulting... but nothing 8hrs long of commitment
