Hello, So I’m debating the idea to get another full-time remote role as a software engineer. I’m looking for feedback or any advice from other people in similar roles on how they managed daily meetings, stand ups, etc.

Still debating? To answer your question, I have a long desk and roll my chair between each company's computer throughout the day. As I get booked for a meeting for j1, I block the calendar for j2. It helps that one of my jobs is in a later time zone than the other, so I'm usually done with stand ups by the time the next job is ready to start meetings.

Not worth it. Unless you wana really put yourself through the grinder. Plus remote roles are a bitch to come by these days. If they do - they’ll lowball the crap outta you.

Would you say there’s another role that would be easy to manage? I work for a large enterprise so I work maybe an hour a day on a normal day haha

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Realistically what are the ODDS of being caught? Is there a legal/HR process with which they could find out??
