Has anyone ever worked 2 full time remote jobs? How did you manage it? Any advice?

I have two amazing offers (different industries and time zones- ones east coast the other is west coast)

I know this is frowned upon sometimes but i think this is a safe place lol. Given my current life situation, finances and career- this makes sense. At least for a year till I’m in a better situation.

I would double check that the employment contracts don’t contain any language about having to report other jobs. For example, my contract states I must request and report any supplemental roles regardless of if I generate income or not. I had to report that I sit on a philanthropy board (no income) as well as the fact that I have a small Etsy side hustle

Great advice.

I don’t think this will work out too well, especially come tax time and you have to file both w2s and both companies find out

Also keep in mind there are limitations to how much you can save in your 401(k). Be sure to get all the matching dollars. Your combined contributions between the two cannot exceed $20,500 but your employers each have their own match limits which are so high they don’t matter for most people.

Pick the better health insurance. Of one has a heigh deductible with HSA that is a great option if you are healthy and willing to max out the saving limits. It’s a triple tax advantaged account when you use the money for health expenses. After age 65 you have the option to keep using it that way or withdraw money and pay income taxes which makes it just like your 401k.

R/overemployed will be able to answer this for you

I mean good luck, but only thing I’d say is make sure you’re not getting too used to the combined income so if you do have to quit one the other job pay isn’t sufficing.

I have worked two full time contract positions. One was on site and the second was remote / flexible.

I would work Job A M-F for 45 hours and then Job B I worked 6ish hours a night and then made up the difference on Sat/Sun.

It wasn't easy and I had no outside life other than work and sleep. I started getting stress migraines in my vision from the exhaustion.

Job B only lasted like 4 months and then I was happy to just have 1 job. I missed the extra cash, though.

Getting migraines is not worth it. Once they start they tend to stick around.

Don’t get caught.

I have a friend that has 3 contracts paying him full time in cybersecurity

My brother in law tried last year but both companies found out and he was fired from both of them.
