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?

That's a good idea, but if there is no pressure from J1, you could stay on the bench. If you stay on the bench any longer will they let you go?

I am currently on bench at J1, but we get paid overtime so I am looking for a project asap. Also, I always prioritize J1 since it is where I am building my career at. If the above wasn't the case, I would sit on the bench as long as possible (since I am making myself available, but no engagements need me). At J2 they were demanding, when I was traveling, but since being remote it has cooled down. J3 the client is low-key, but a hot mess. Scheduling is always difficult so just set expectations.

Additional Posts in Overemployed

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.
