So I finally got my first remote job and I’m very much interested in overemployment. What would be your advice, should I stay in this job and kind of see how it is day to day fit’s before I start applying to other jobs or should I start applying right away?

Yes, wait 3-6 months before you take on OE. You need to see how OE-friendly J1 is before you jump into J2.

I say keep applying. You have no idea how long it’ll take you find your next role. It’s really is a “position of power” when you don’t need the job, makes you come across as more authoritative and not at all desperate… both are good looks when interviewing.

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time. I’ve lead several features from start to finish and made sure to mention in my resume that I have been doing everything a regular PM does. Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

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.
