What would you do? Imagine if you will that you have a special set of skills. You already have 2 jobs (W-2) and you have an opportunity to contract (1099) for a higher pay than the 2 jobs combined.

The contract requires occasional evening and weekend tasks due to multiple time zones. You are also responsible for withholding taxes - hence, the higher pay.

Do you try to manage all 3 at one time? How would you prioritize?

I think people do that. I wouldn’t be able to. I need time for myself and kids. That just sounds a little crazy. But I guess never know till you try.

I would think more people than we could imagine accomplish this. It would be dependent on your drive and goals.

Does j2 background check decline you if they see you’re still employed with j1?

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.
