Anyone quit their full time jobs and go remote completely? Peer of mine did the same and ended up picking 2 remote jobs with net income of 240k. Wondering if anyone has experience on this? Pros/cons?

I've done it before but the burn out is real. I only lasted 3 months. It only takes a shift in expectations or major deadline at one position for it to become overwhelming. I did save enough for a down payment on a home though. I might do it again if I had a specific goal in mind. It's not something that's sustainable.

I worked remote for ~7 years but only one job at a time. It's great. I was paid the same as my office going peers (if not more), had significantly more flexibility, and was able to work in high impact roles. I did have to travel to meet with my teams but that's to be expected. Plus I liked that my dogs can hang out with me during the day.

I'm back in am office which I'm also enjoying but I think that is a function of being away from an office for so long.

I worked remote for 4 years. It’s doable if you build your social network in other ways. I got involved in book clubs and toast master groups that met at lunchtime or early evening.

How did they find the remote jobs?

OP-it’s not that bad. We aren’t nearly as cut throat as Deloitte, EY, and all the rest. I could make more at any of them and many other places but if work was only about the pay I wouldn’t be in federal consulting.

Op - how is your friend able to work two jobs? Are they two “full-time” jobs that are expecting full-time hours? I’m trying to understand how he’s able to do that. I’m interested in doing that myself. Thanks!

A BAH colleague was recently terminated for having a second remote job. Apparently it’s against once our employee agreements (IP probably). I will say that BAH might not have found out if they hadn’t bragged about it. I will say that side gigs are common among developers though they don’t usually amount to FT hours.
