Ask HN: Would you hold two full-time remote jobs?
There has been some news about people holding more than one full-time remote job, what is your view on this? Is it worth it? Would you do it?
It seems possible, but 37% by Bloomberg's video below seems a bit high, maybe it is just propaganda

- jacky2wong 5y agoDepends on speed of the individual. Definitely think if you can do it and balance outcomes on both - I don't see any problem here. Issue arises if there are conflicting interests! Having worked multiple jobs before - definitely very doable.
- johncoltrane 5y agoI wouldn't even hold one single full-time remote job.
- jcun4128 5y agoIf full time means ass-in-seat 40hrs no.
- fbrncci 5y agoIf I was in financial duress, I certainly would. However, while I am not, I don't see any benefits in holding two full-time remote jobs. I'd rather remotely freelance or consult for multiple clients. In the long run, that is likely going to be a lot more beneficial for personal growth, career and financial success.
