I’ve done it before with 2 jobs at large enterprise companies. The hardest part was job n+1. Figuring out what to put on your resume becomes surprisingly tricky. Going the route of being completely honest has tended not to work out in my favor, so I’ve typically had to pick 1 of N jobs for the given timeline. It also kind of hurts you in the sense that 1/N jobs doesn’t portray you as well as N/N jobs (in terms of total capacity) for when you are trying to apply for that 1 job you really care about. Also personally I found that the money wasn’t really worth it. I somehow just increased my cost of living and spent it all. Your mileage may vary. To answer your original question—- the consequences probably won’t come from the employers, they will shake out in more subtle ways.

> To answer your original question—- the consequences probably won’t come from the employers, they will shake out in more subtle ways. I think this is the real issue I've found. Employers will likely never find out, and will likely have no reason to pursue any legal issues as long as I don't share secrets. Your mental health can suffer if you're overworking or can't handle the juggling of multiple jobs. As far as multiple jobs on the resume, my resume is pretty unimpressive. I just put the job I've been at longest. No issues finding new jobs. I can usually find a new job within 2-3 weeks of leaving one, been like that the past 10 years. > Also personally I found that the money wasn’t really worth it. I somehow just increased my cost of living and spent it all. Your mileage may vary. All depends on how much lifestyle creep you accept. I make 1m+/year and drive a 5 year old Honda. Not saying I don't spend money (I have a weakness for high end sushi), but you can definitely plan your spending quite easily with the extra money.
