In what context?

Ah, in that context. It's possible, but you're risking extreme burnout, a possible heart attack, etc. If you want to double up, I would go with a full-time job plus some side projects that have actual end dates.

Know someone who did this on two easy jobs. Not surprisingly, they did not have a good time. Always busy, and seeing them occasionally be on two calls simultaneously was... Lol. I can't imagine being able to keep either job if one of the teams was good. You'd both underperform and burn out.

Plus there's the whole contractual obligations and potential for fraud and whatnot. But I'm no lawyer and it's situational. For example, don't see any reason you couldn't take two hourly contracts if you didn't mix and match client info and IP (unless they explicitly preclude that).

If you are billable and truly organized and proficient in the work you carry out, aaand you don't mind working some extra hours/at odd hours, then I think you can make it work. If you are stacking jobs that operate in different time zones, then you can discern how you'd "stack" those jobs. On the other hand, if you know your expected work load from the client was quoted at a length of time longer than it will actually take, you can "stack" other work in that downtime. Just spitballing here!

If you are that good, just do gig work. You can get paid for output and not worry about being against employment agreements

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Just got an email that I have a margin call due today. What does that mean? What would happen if I didn’t see that email?

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
