Anyone have any luck juggling multiple software engineering roles at the same time? I’d like to horizontally scale my work by working many easier, more junior level jobs instead of one very senior, difficult SWE job.

Also, is there a trending name for this sort of thing I can Google for?

Try to find project based ones that don’t need you to join many meetings so you can juggle. Also make sure you read contracts to make sure you aren’t in a contract that prevents you from having multiple jobs at the same time

Good ask, I also would like to know and if anyone has good advice.

Yes. The trick is that my second job knows about the first one, and one of the jobs is remote.

I’ve done it for a few years off and on. It’s sort of a toss up if the schedules will play nice with each other until you try it. Great money, can be very stressful though.

Struggling. Took a role at my dream company and I’m so thrilled to be there. I did, however, take an available role to get in the door: a significant step down from my experience/expertise. Leadership acknowledge this and are strongly committed to catching me up with the complex product and industry (a full shift from my prior work). Im in my head that as a young female executive on a rapid successful track, that I’ve derailed myself, so I continue to fixate on all the negative. Anyone else?

I did interview at another company earlier and they refused to pay the salary I asked for because I wasn’t senior enough. Any tips ?

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
