Have laptop(s) - will travel. The beauty of remote work is that you can go anywhere, as long as there is internet.

Since OE involves more than one job and in order to keep everything separate, you may have to work off of more than one laptop.

If that's the case and you want to take a trip away from home, do you take only one laptop and PTO from the other job(s)? Or do you get a big suite / Airbnb with a huge counter and bring all of the laptops?

Yep have a backpack with 2 laptop slots. And have phone #2 for J1, and then personal phone #2 for backup hotpot. Easy enough to travel with since J2 I can use my personal laptop.

Same setup. Hotspot is key.

Wow, that's a situation I hadn't considered. I'm able to work my jobs from one computer, but I get how some jobs would require dedicated software and secure machines and all that. If I had to travel and carry a bunch of laptops, I don't know, I think I'd just stay home!

I could understand if it was for a week or two - take the PTO, not the laptop.

I had a coworker that rented a house in the south during the coldest part of winter in the midwest. She took her "station" with her, put in her hours, and then went to the beach at quitting time. Best idea I have heard in a long time!

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job.
