Be aware that there are databases such as The Work Number that can end up letting both companies know about your employment with the other. The odds are likely very low of that happening as there's little reason for an HR department to check on your listing after you're employed but it's not a zero chance. Also if at some point go to work at an unrelated company and they check your employment background, they're going to see you were working two jobs concurrently, at which point you may be tempted to lie and say they were part-time or knew about each other which could be denied by either or both.
- two_jobs 6y agoThanks for letting me know about The Work Number, I had no idea. This in itself is a downside - I don't now what unpleasant surprises I may encounter. I have thought about how I would handle my resumé/LinkedIn. I would not update my LinkedIn, because I haven't in a long time anyway. But this in itself could a hindrance to finding new opportunities in the future. When I finally do update it, I would simply say I only worked at current large co until Oct 2020 - no overlap. This in itself could have its own risks/downsides. The whole thing is fraught with risks/lies. The only upside is extra money, which I don't desperately need. Thanks for your comment - I think I am answering my own question.
