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.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.
