Tips on not getting caught? I have one full-time remote job and am interviewing for another full-time remote job in the same industry. What are the risks? What happens if I get caught? Is it legal to lie and say I don’t have a job when I do? Will they see my other job when they do a background check or file my taxes? Thanks!!!

If you’re a salaried employee at both, then it’s likely that it’ll show on your background check. If you’re incorporated, then it won’t show

Additional Posts in Overemployed

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 wish I was overemployed. Searching for gigs, but nothing yet. Any tips on how to get one or more extra jobs?

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.
