i have a job i have to be in the office physically. i am in talks with another company (fully remote) to work for them as well. neither company knows this is happening. but both positions allow me to 1. live in california more comfortable because two incomes 2. further my career goals by getting experience for FAANG 3. learn i can do it, but curious if anyone out there has experienced this. yes, i know it sucks. yes, i know if employers find out theyll be pissed/ill be fired. but honestly... i might just ask my manager straight up. not sure how the second company would feel. but ultimately this lets me get experience in a role i think i actually care about/want to do while not giving my comfy SWE job thoughts? edit1: they will be worked at DIFFERENT times of the day. first the in office 5am-2pm then the remote 2pm to 9pm-ish
Tell either one and you are guaranteed to lose that job.
Really tho? I mean I should add they will he worked at different times
Aren’t you traversing dangerous waters “legally”? I mean, doesn’t your contract state that you must be full time with one employer and is there a clause on whether you’re eligible to work in another company in parallel? Legally speaking, you might breaking some rules, contractual obligations or possibly the law. I personally think it’s awesome you can parallelize your income and learning, but the company would just terminate you if they find out but they do have the option to throw the book at you. Not sure whether they would pursue it. I guess consult a lawyer maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the same position but both companies know. In my case there's no conflict of interest..for you it might make a difference if there's conflict of interest
There’s no conflict of interest. Two entirely different verticals. How’d you go about getting everyone on board?
Told them both from beginning
Isn't there some legal mumbo jumbo about not doing this exact same thing in your employment agreement? If they find out, they won't be just angry, you could expect a lawsuit
I don’t think so. Unless it’s conflict of interest. Which it’s not. Plus California is ‘at will’ employment, pretty sure I cannot be sued for shit like this. But fired? Most definitely My thing is if they’re two different companies/industries, and I do good work for both, then what’s the big deal?
You are probably right, if there is no restrictions other than the conflict of interest in your employment agreement, I guess there is nothing stopping you
Companies are greedy. I'd expect both will be unhappy
I could probably get away with hiding it from both, but it would be easier to explain to my current manager that I will start coming into the office at 5am lol
Why are you in a rush to tell either one? Besides the remote one never asked what do you do during the day? Or do you do both jobs in one place..meaning instead of working for the current company you're working for the other?
I think you should move to Vegas.. 😇
Oh hey! You’re the vegas person. I might if I quit the in person job and do the remote one full time
🙌🏼
By law you do not have any restriction on number of jobs as far as you pay the tax. (I checked that with a lawyer) Also, you do not have any obligation tell any of them. Just you have to make sure that they are not competitor and you are nit transferring technology or data to the other one. It is possible that your contract restrict you. In that case they can only fire you ( even they can not notify the second company because you can sue them. ) there is no reason to be embarrassed. You are using your legal rights.
You are the best. Thank you for this. I was worried. I know for sure the two do not intersect
If you want to get into FAANG you need to be doing less at your day job, not more. You'll have no time to leetcode or study relevant topics, and your work/life balance (and emotional well being) will go in the shitter. You'd be setting yourself up for failure. Assuming you aren't married or a parent, if money is a big problem cut your expenses. If you do have a family, not sure what to tell you but this scheme is even more insane if you have a family to interact with and support. Take the remote job and get out of California.
Now Google knows what's up!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Best advice ever! My hat's off to you!!!
Not trying to be a SWE tho... and yes single and young so it’s do able.
