Not that long ago, a friend told me to stay humble after I told her that I have extra income. At first, I was surprised and then I realized that it was pretty good advice.

No matter your reason for being overemployed, I believe that taking staying humble is not a bad idea. If you could speak to yourself at the start of your OE adventure, what advice would you give?

I agree! Due to the risk of causing jealousy, envy or misunderstanding, the less others know is better.
