I still don't understand how people find time to do this. The overhead from switching all the time would kill my productivity and take a bunch of time away from what I actually want to be doing, which is not working.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 4y agoThe point is not to be productive, the point is to shamelessly do the bare minimum you need to in order to get more money.
- zrail 4y agoRight, sure. Just as there's no ethics in capitalism I don't think there's any room for shame in capitalism either. Personally, when I was consulting I really wanted to want multiple clients at once but I actually found myself most happy with just one.
- viraptor 4y agoMaybe they don't. I've heard this story a few times, but never in a way that could be verified. It's a bit of an urban legend equivalent for me. Maybe there's even someone who pulled it off for a while. But just as likely it's a joke that became a "true story". Same as the manager throwing the CVs in the air to choose the lucky ones.
- swader999 4y agoHonestly I posted that as a joke. But I am intrigued if it actually can be done. Take the easy jobs, apply a 10x/4 for a two x effort at all your jobs. Be careful to only accept jobs that are low on meeting expectations.
- zrail 4y agoIMO the people that can actually succeed while overemployed could be just as successful, if not more so, as an above-the-board consultant or freelancer. It just seems like inventing a way to do something that already exists and many people do.

- swader999 4y agoI probably agree after careful consideration. Finding a low tax jurisdiction to consult remotely from is probably the best move for someone capable and experienced.
