In my younger years, I would watch cartoons and movies that made me dream of a world with superheroes and fairytale endings. When I became an adult and entered the workforce, reality smacked me right in the noodle.

What I found was self-reliance and the choice to succeed even during periods of challenges and self-doubt. One important thing I will never forget, especially during OE, is that I will always be the boss of me, regardless of my employer(s).

What have you found with OE?

Anyone have multiple FT jobs? I'm looking about to land a new primary FT job, as my current job is very very slow, doesn't really have any projects for me, and could end at any time (with a 30 day notice).
Where there any legal issues? (The two companies area in different industries so no competition). How did you manage both? The new company knows I'm still employed, should I quit the first or keep it as long as I can manage both? Any bad vibes or feelings of unprofessionalism? TIA

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?

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.

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