Is OE only for those in tech? I’m in supply chain and every time I glance in the over employeed world I only see those in tech. Can I get some insight? If you are Overemployed and working outside of a tech role what do you do?

All my construction buddies simply take on additional gigs and throw warm bodies to scale up their revenues. We white collars have not that privilege. So we need to improvise.

The reason tech lends itself so well is because once you’re very experienced, you can work at 10x the efficiency of others. So something they estimate might take you a week you know you can bang out in an hour. Great for bandwidth expansion/compression.

You’re also often maintaining systems which need minimal work, but are crucial to the business and therefore they’ll make bandwidth for you to be available, just in case, knowing that most of the time you ain’t fighting crises.

Add to that the ability to be mediocre and blend in with the wallpaper and still be secure in your position. So you end up being a B- player in two positions instead of an A++ in one.

If you can figure out a way to carve out similar patterns in your own profession, then you’ll prob make it. All we’re really doing is running our own consulting company with multiple clients and just one employee.

I’ve seen many others not in tech be OE (finance, consulting, etc)

I just did overemployment for a year and J1 was in consulting and J2 (part time) was with one of the major tech companies. Think you just have to actively peruse LI, job postings, etc and put your resume out there. Both of these positions I didn’t even apply for, the recruiters found me 🙏🏼

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
