This is true in the Midwest.
I’m seeing two strategies that are friends are using to get to $250k+ right now and much more…
1. Several have left for left/right coast former startups companies that are publicly traded. Their base comp is $160-180k but they are also receiving a large pool of equity that vests in tranches of $75-100k a year.
2. With everything being remote, several senior engineer friends are working two jobs at the same time. Some are telling their employers and others are not.
Companies are desperate for senior engineers and many are unable to compete with the “we’re remote, have free beer and no vacation policy.”
- Rastonbury 5y agoWait two fulltime 250k+ jobs?
- shiftpgdn 5y agoI think that’s a remarkable exception rather than a common occurrence.
- necovek 5y agoI would gather they are referring to two jobs that in total sum to above 250k a year.
- jollofricepeas 5y agoYeah, they’re making 140-160k at both jobs which are with startups that have raised a few rounds.
- ta988 5y agoHow do you justify on a resume that you had two jobs at once?
- ProjectArcturis 5y agoJust list the better one.
- paulcole 5y agoWhy in God’s name would you list them both? It’s a resume not a deposition. Your resume should make it easier for you to get your next job not harder. Be accurate when it comes to the truth but not necessarily the facts.
- lr1970 5y ago> Why in God’s name would you list them both? It’s a resume not a deposition. In the US resume fraud is a thing. Some companies like telecoms selectively check resumes for accuracy. Resume fraud can be a fireable offense.
- willis936 5y agoIs there a law mandating that all employment be listed? Omitting a high school fast food gig is accepted, why is omitting moonlighting not? It's not lying about education or employment, so I don't see how it is fraud.
- lr1970 5y agoUnfortunately, there is no clear cut rules about what constitutes resume fraud. Making up employment records is clearly a resume fraud. Omitting employment could be construed as fraud depending on the context. Omitting ice-cream parlor gig while in high school is probably OK. Working for Google and Facebook at the same time and omitting one might be not.
- pb7 5y agoWho is deciding all of this? Sounds like conjecture.
- mod 5y agoThat's for lying, and I've never heard of anyone going to court over it. Omitting isn't the same. If you ask for references, I probably won't list people who will give me a bad reference, either.
- b3morales 5y agoThousands, if not millions, of people have multiple jobs at the same time. Granted most of those are not 6-figure white-collar office workers. But even in that world many consultants effectively are working multiple jobs simultaneously. Personally I am very happy having one employer at a time, but I don't understand why it should be an aberration to have more than one.

- gaws 5y agoYou can take unlimited vacation time.
