Running on a tank that is half-full is never healthy. Even if you go into OE with the intention of it being temporary, so you can reach your goal of financial freedom, a new home, or early retirement.

If you create a healthy balance or you enjoy what you do, OE may not feel like work. How long do you believe OE is sustainable if a healthy balance is not achieved?

I have been OE for almost 1 year. I want to continue for as long as possible but I think I only have about 1 year left in me.

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?
