If given the opportunity, would you ever stop working?

If you're overemployed for whatever reason and you have a chance to retire from J1 that provides post-retirement income (aka pension) but you really enjoy J2, as it's fully remote. Would you take the leap?

Yes. I a not going to lie to you . I don't love working and if it werent' for bills then I would not be working. I want to spend my day frolicking around and shopping LOL. I do not want to spend 50 hours a week working.

That's a great perspective, and thanks for telling the truth. I am imagining a time when I can finally retire from J1 and take my laptop with me for J2 wherever I wish to frolic!

💯 yes

How difficult is it to juggle a remote role with a hybrid role?

My current role is hybrid with at least two days a week in office. However, with the potential economic downturn, I'm considering holding on to the role to supplement my income.

I'm new to the overemployed movement, so I'm evaluating the feasibility of holding onto the hybrid role and the remote position.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
