I’ve been OE for a couple months and I have loved every second of it (and every check). What are your thoughts on it?

What's that, OE?

How did you handle letting either job know about the other?

If you didn't, do you have a plan in place to maintain control in the event they do?

I’ve been considering this. How do you manage conflicting daily stand ups or reoccurring meetings?

@rantsauce overemployed working multiple full-time jobs at once

@sariel I didn’t, and I found out from a connection from another job that the background screening process checks
if(jobList.contains(jobOnResume)) not all the jobs you’ve ever had so I don’t usually post current jobs on resume or talk about them in interview, if they aren’t listed on the resume. Also, slowly finding out a lot of places don’t care as long as you get the work done. In the case that they do find out I have a plethora of recruiters to reach back out to.

@wackOverflow I try to mitigate that in interview one of my questions pertain to the daily life of a developer on the team they usually then discuss time of SCRUM and length. I’ve had a few cases where meetings have intercepted as long as both jobs don’t use the same platform (Teams, specifically) you can usually just make an excuse for non mandatories, cc and wait for your name in scrum, or if your like me with the weird gift of following multiple sounds it’s barely an issue to attend both with closed captions. However this doesn’t happen as often as people think

Why?

@asgs the average developer doesn’t need a full 8 hours to complete most assigned tasks working for most established companies with a well established codebase. Finding yourself in a position where you have a lot of downtime after tickets, PR, and meetings you tend to get bored. OE is for those that find themselves in this position, it’s leveraging both efficiency and opportunity, efficiency of your job and the opportunity to make more. As of right now I make ~234k at two jobs and still find myself fulfilling deliverables in a timely fashion for both. It’s especially great for jobs that can be automated like well most data entry jobs
