I've been working multiple remote jobs for the past 4 years. I'm currently working 4 full time engineering roles and a part time contract. It's been tough but a great experience.
The main struggle is scheduling and making sure you can make all the meetings. It's also tough finding the right job which gives you autonomy to form your schedule.
The main perks are obviously money and not caring about getting laid off. In this market it's pretty hard to get laid off, we shall see how it plays out over the next few years.
- sdfgdfghj 4y agois this even legal?
- jhugo 4y agoDepends what you mean exactly. It's almost certainly a breach of all of the contracts, unless they were quite sloppily drafted, but it's probably not a crime [1]. The repercussions would be as determined by the contracts — likely just termination. [1] Not legal advice. It could maybe be fraud depending on the details?
- tra3 4y agoIt may be against his contract, but none of the employment contracts I've ever had stipulated that I couldn't hire out my services elsewhere. Why do you think it'd be illegal?
- froaway4job 4y agoMaybe, which means yes it is legal. Will anybody come after me? Doubt it's worth it to come after an engineer making 250K and will work at your company for less than 2 years.

- froaway4job 4y agoCurrently at 1.8m ish total comp: - 1.2m cash - 300k RSUs (probably worthless or I leave before 4 year vesting cliff) - 200k equity (only one job is at a publicly traded company) - <150k cash bonus
- ttyp3 4y agoMore power to you, man. I find 0..1 of these startups provides enough daily aggravation. (Though that could argue for throwing a pile together and ending it quickly.)
- froaway4job 4y agoI also dislike working at these places. This is something I'll be doing for a few years and then leaving corporate life with a big pile.

- s1artibartfast 4y agoIF the employers are happy with the work, or even not, nobody is getting exploited here. IF the work suffers, they are free to fire. For the properties, people need to rent from someone. Landlords are only scum if they mistreat their tenants.
- randomhodler84 4y agoI have no issue with employers being exploited, they would exploit you too. But the housing thing is gross — the reason housing is so distorted is that the wealthy are actively trying to deny folks access to housing. There are so many better ways. Landlording is always a scum action. It is a personal choice to seek rent with no benefit to society while enriching oneself and preventing others from building their own wealth. Landlords hobble the middle class wealth generation, extract most of the gains from industry and then refuse to maintain their properties. We need to make it so uncool to be a landlord. They are all scum, no exceptions.
- it200219 4y agointerested in knowing how do you manage your time at 4 FTE roles ? I also would like to understand the systems / machines that they provide
- froaway4job 4y agoI purposely job hunt for low performing teams/companies who are willing to pay for experience. Also, managing my calendar religiously is a must.
- winterplace 4y agoWhere do you look for them? How many YOE did you have when you first started being overemployed? What do you see to know that they are low performing and willing to pay for experience?
