There are good days that outweigh the bad days. Weather can affect your mood. If you are hungry or thirsty, it's hard to concentrate. When you are not feeling well, your motivation is low.

When overemployed, any one of those can be multiplied. Either that or you can be easily distracted. At which point do you throw in the towel?

Ive been contemplating throwing in the towel because I initially got J2 to leave J1 but I enjoyed the money. Every day I tell myself “you can just quit. You don’t have to put up with this” but.. they money is the hardest to give up.

The money is nice, but after a certain point, you should walk away. I have had my fill of the corporate world and I want greener pastures.

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.

Realistically what are the ODDS of being caught? Is there a legal/HR process with which they could find out??

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?
