Hey there, thanks for watching. If you're interested in more info on the two jobs experience check out this other video: th-cam.com/video/P9bwfUc9bTs/w-d-xo.html
I pulled 6 months of overemployed between late 2021 and early 2022. I had been with a company for a long time, and was stagnant, so I decided to interview. Found a place I liked, and thought "hey, what if I just didn't give notice"? The original job was easy, maybe 5-10 hours of work per week. The first week was a bit of chaos, but then things settled right on down. I resigned the first job right around the 6 month mark and took some time with just one job. Let me tell you, working a single job feels like you're unemployed when you're used to two. I picked up a new 2nd job last month and I have a 3rd starting next month. I want to see if I can do 3 at once. It's a great way to earn extra income and learn skills you wouldn't otherwise , especially if you accept an entry-level or mid-level in a new sector. There are negatives. I usually kept to myself to keep from sharing too many personal details. You also likely won't move up the ladder quick if you are not competing with co-workers for promotions. There is the risk of termination. In the end, it's a personal choice some may make, and does serve as a hedge against income loss, until you are self-sustaining with passive income and other income streams.
In regards to joining two meetings at the same time. The amount of 'oh shoot, my internet is acting up' really saved me. I would think both companies would grill me because of how many times I've used it but they seemed like they did not care. Lucky for me, I didn't have to talk much and when I did, I just resorted to, 'internet connection issues' and would leave one of the two and chose the more 'important' one at the time. You're 100% on the last part..' deceiving' and being a lie. I am already over half a year into the 'two remote job' process and at times, I still get that thought. I am definitely not completely over it although a good pep talk helps because in the end, I had to take care of myself and essentially I was still giving both companies enough value and always met every deadline.
Nice video. I found out that if you have great relationships with your managers and they have complete trust in what you do then taking a J2 is easy. I even did that with J2 and J3. Currently taking on J4. The key is to make them feel that they are the main job.
Yeah really good point. I think I could do that with my job 1, which is now my only job. It would be interesting to try it again but with full transparency from the beginning.
@Alain Procs Yeah for real... People without jobs in an office I guess, so unskilled labor, designers, and coding/computer based jobs. Most jobs are 9 hours a day, so the math really doesn't add up.
@@ChicagoShnozzlers If you think you are working different full time jobs one after the other, you really don't understand the concept of overemployment. You are meant to do them concurrently.
If you are thinking of doing this, be careful as background checks will uncover both jobs being worked at the same time and could make for an uncomfortable conversation if you quit the two jobs and apply for a new job. I'd recommend being a contractor / consultant of your own company if you decide to do this, that way you can work for two companies but only have to put down the single contracting company on your resume.
Background check won't find anything. The second company will see that you are working on the first, but that's normal, they will assume you are interviewing to change jobs. Your LinkedIn shouldn't be updated to reflect the second company, neither should your resume. If a third company finds out about the 1st and 2nd concurrent, just tell them that you were contractors for both or something similar. This is literally not a big deal.
I work in HR and run background checks for new hires. The background checking company ONLY checks the companies you have listed on your resume and enter into the background check portal upon hire. They cannot find anything that you don't list or report.
@EnMode can your current employer ask anything from the background check person. For example, what is this background for, what employer, for a full time or part time role?
Great video! I am seriously thinking of getting a remote job as supplemental income as I currently am in a completely different industry…seems like now is a great time to do so…
Great video!! Fun to listen to as a ux designer of 8 years. Meetings at the same time sound like the most stressful part of this experince & not being able to be honest with both companies.
Thanks! And yes both very stressful things for me haha

I was watching this whilst updating my LinkedIn just taking in your tips then you mentioned about being in two Zoom calls at once and when it got to much, because one person from each Zoom were both speaking to you at the same time, so you just panic rage quit out of one of them I burst out laughing haha
Yeah meetings are the biggest waste of time in modern society. Especially if they are not for discussing a specific technical issue or a solution to it!
Thank you for sharing! I am also a product designer, currently working at a telecom company as a freelancer full-time, based in Norway. However I have been thinking about getting a 80% job on the side, but I am trying to aim at a different time zone so that I can juggle two jobs easier.
Right now noncompete clauses Darlene matter but also working for competitive companies doesn’t matter in a noncompete clause what matters is if you create a competitor to your old company
This is the best possible outcome. Many companies would in reality respond very badly and if not fire you certainly view you as non committed and consider your position if there was any restructuring…
One thing about doing overemployment is that you don't reveal your identity online. Btw, your linkedin profile is still index on google search so you're pretty screwed if you are trying to find new jobs in the future if this TH-cam gig doesn't work out.
I could always unlist the two jobs videos if I need to. I don't think it would be a huge deal. It is annoying that my LinkedIn is still showing on Google. Maybe I need to delete my account entirely. I'm sure recruiters will somehow still find a way to blast my inbox.
@@JakeFerrin Recruiters dont look out for you, you are just a number to them. If you want to find good jobs for OE you got to apply yourself. I think if you want to go back to OE its time to go private. It will bring up so many questions unless you find one of those lucky jobs again.
Everything you said is how I feel. I am a go-getter so I want to do great at both jobs but I know the advice has been to get a second job where you can be mediocre but I think that would eat at me. The dishonesty part would also kill me especially when coworkers at both companies have been so gracious and kind but I can't tell either one about the other. I guess I just don't have it in me to lie and live in anxiety 24/7 but I need the money so I can send my kid to school and pay down some debt. How does one overcome this fear or anxiety?
I have received a hybrid offer and a remote offer. I accepted both jobs. One seems less busy than the other. Any tips on how I can juggle overlapping meetings? Also how to handle meetings when I am in office with other company?
I just left my LinkedIn alone the whole time I was doing two jobs. The second company probably assumed I hadn’t got around to updating it. I’m not too active on LinkedIn though.
I am interested in picking up another job soon but I also run a business and I was going to work another job years ago. I found if you are up front with your manager from the get-go they really won't mind. I told him straight up, I plan on getting a 2nd job in the industry, are you ok with that? He just wanted to make sure I was still happy at his company. I am pretty sure that 2nd company would have been ok with you working at the 1st.
@@deesee3622 the hours are mattering less and less for tech jobs. I work with people all over the world in different time zones and we’re not all on at the same time of the day. It’s more about getting your work done.
Jake, I can definitely 100% relate to the last thing you said, “Feeling Guilty” I have been in two remote jobs for a month now and it is hitting me hard. I feel stressed and guilty all the time. Ans hate dealing with LinkedIn so I hibernate it. It’s a weird psychology. I’m not doing anything wrong, just have two jobs. Why do I feel like this ? Lol
Right?? Glad I’m not the only one. My LinkedIn is still hybernated. I wonder if the stigma will change as more and more people are doing it with everyone working remote.
Hey. So I was interviewing with companies looking for a summer internship (3 years out of 4 done with my engineering bachelors) and I accepted an offer from one company. Two months, in-office, full time. Now the second company contacts me a whole 2 months after my interview - but they need a part-time person, 3 hours a day, 4 days a week - and remote. So I'm considering taking this up and just doing it after my full time intern. This second part-time internship employers knows that I already have ONE engagement and I'll be doing this additionally. Should I do it? this remote internship is probably gonna be making me a lot more money, and as a student I'll take it.
I guess it depends how busy you are with your full time job. If you have to go in to the office it really screws up the whole two jobs thing. IMO both jobs need to be remote for it to work. Unless of course you can do the second job after hours. Good luck!
I'm already working remotely for a US ngo, but im not from the US, I would like to get some tips on how to get something else from here, you know just in case...
When I was interviewing I didn’t plan on working two jobs, the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind yet. But I think my answer would be the same: been at first job for a while, looking for something new, etc
I enrolled in both health insurances and didn’t say anything. Same with dental. I actually had a dental procedure done while double covered and it was basically free. Not sure what the “right” way to handle two insurance policies is though.
stumble upon your channel about having 2nd job. Recently i felt stagnant in my company being a PO , pretty much everything is SOP facing company B2B client. I was actually talking to a friend of mine whos doing 2 jobs but she was in tech i'm more towards product. Purpose for me looking for 2nd job it's to gain more experience , i am not really sure i can pull this off but i think i'll give it a try soon
Control your day and manage your meetings accordingly. Get in get what you need and utilize your scrum master and ba’s. As a pm I refuse to sit in meetings all day when what I need could’ve been done in half the time through an email. I knew I could juggle multiple even I started working on different products with one company. So I def jumped up for the chance to earn two salaries.
Hi Jake, here's a question. What do you do about workplace verification that HR does? Your new job's HR or outsourced company will call all jobs on your resume/application and ask to verify you worked there. If your current HR has a direct line to you manager, they may tip them off. Any solutions?
I’ve heard this is a thing in the UK. In the US most tech companies you interview with wouldn’t tell your current company that you’re interviewing with them. That would be kind of a jerk move. This would be a problem even if you’re not looking to work two jobs. It’s typically not a great thing if your company knows you’re looking elsewhere.
@@JakeFerrin you see, they kind of do. Once you accept an offer, hr performs a background check. This involves calling all your companies on your resume to verify dates worked. If your current job's hr department has a good relationship with your direct manager, they may squeel. I realized this yesterday, and have taken measures to avoid this. This is such an interesting topic. Thank you for all your advice and insights. It has even helped me just with my one job. Sometimes, it pays to slow down.
I’m putting out a video next week to answer that question. I get it all the time. Basically I told a friend at a different company who told his boss who told my boss… if that makes sense.
Hey I just posted a video answering your question, how the one company found out. Take a look if you’re interested. And thanks for the question! th-cam.com/video/luBR_QK7z5E/w-d-xo.html
it happens when you don't understand laws, you fear there might be something there against you. the smartest people know the law, the smart think there might be something bad and the stupid downright ignore any possibility without doing research on the topic. Ignorance isn't always a bliss
@@YuriG03042 you’re just a part of the matrix obviously. it doesn’t take someone with an IQ of Albert Einstein to realize working 2 jobs isn’t illegal lmfao. especially if they’re non competing companies (like this dude) a google search that takes 30 seconds would of helped this dude from making a 7 minute video. but whatever floats ur boat.
Well what is illegal is wrongly declaring the hours you worked. 2 full time jobs is about 80 hours per week. He says in the video that he worked about 50 hours per week.
@@MrAsteba that’s not illegal lol. inform yourself. you’re allowed to work 50, 100, or 1000 hours a week. you can have 1, 2, 3, or 10 jobs at a time. dude posted this vid prob thought he had something, but made him self look like a clown.
@@Anonymous-pl4zu definitely illegal to work less than the number of hours agreed up in your contract in my country. Maybe US laws are different. Hard to believe it is legal to work 20 hours if your contract defines a 40 hours week, to be honest.
@@GrumpyMcFrog in India you get a relieving letter from ur previous company mentioning your first and last day of work. The company you're going to join would ask for a relieving letter to check if you've been relieved from your previous company.
If it was for a vacation I just took PTO with both companies. A few times I took PTO with one company to focus completely on the other one if I was super busy. Time off wasn't a huge deal though. One company gave us unlimited PTO and the other one was pretty chill about it.
its dumb like, if you could be a waitress at a restaurant and work starbucks at night, people do this crap all the time. I dont see what its different for SWEs
It's only an issue if 1 com o any has a non compete clause or something similar. In that situation they could sue you. This is why it's important to read and understand everything you sign.
@@GrumpyMcFrog they don't have to be in two different industries to not compete. They could be in the same industry and one does credit card applications and one does lending platforms. Same industry, but do two different things that aren't competing.
How did you handle Social Security Taxes? Since you only pay on the first $147,000 (2022) of wage income across all employers. Oh, looks like you may be able to claim the excess as a tax credit: www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc608

@@GrumpyMcFrog in India you get a relieving letter from ur previous company mentioning your first and last day of work. The company you're going to join would ask for a relieving letter to check if you've been relieved from your previous company.
@@sphagett1 there is no such thing in the US.
I’ve done the two zoom calls and ummm yeah never mind
There’s nothing worse
How did you handle PTO/time off?
If it was for a vacation I just took PTO with both companies. A few times I took PTO with one company to focus completely on the other one if I was super busy. Time off wasn't a huge deal though. One company gave us unlimited PTO and the other one was pretty chill about it.
I want to know how your first company found out
I can't even find ONE work from home job
its dumb like, if you could be a waitress at a restaurant and work starbucks at night, people do this crap all the time. I dont see what its different for SWEs
Working 2 jobs is nothing new and is not illegal but you may be better off not putting it out there !
It's only an issue if 1 com o any has a non compete clause or something similar.
In that situation they could sue you. This is why it's important to read and understand everything you sign.
So long as the two companies are in different industries (not competing against each other), it shouldn't be a problem.
@@GrumpyMcFrog they don't have to be in two different industries to not compete.
They could be in the same industry and one does credit card applications and one does lending platforms.
Same industry, but do two different things that aren't competing.
But now that everyone knows who you are, will a company hire you, knowing that you used to have 2 jobs? That is the question.
Hello Everyone, Do you know a person who works in two different fields at the same time?

Hello Jake, do you by chance have a social media? Will like to connect.
How did you handle Social Security Taxes? Since you only pay on the first $147,000 (2022) of wage income across all employers.
Oh, looks like you may be able to claim the excess as a tax credit: www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc608
