Hello all,

I am planning on talking 2nd job as contract position with Collabera (Company: Google)

Tc at google: $130 k (base salary and no benefits)
Tc at amazon: $120k (base +benefits)

Should I do it? Will I need to inform both the companies?

Does anyone know the process and could help me whether or not I should take the offer?

    Maybe look at the trending poll on Blind where moonlighting caused someone to lose his job and mental health issues.

    Here is the post: "Fired from BigTech (Tech Industry)"

    Most companies allow moonlighting subject to certain conditions such as not using company resources/ company work time for the other gig, no conflicting business practice or using your employer IP to start/ do something new.
    AFAIK, so long as you keep within the confines of these, youโ€™ll be good. Just make sure your work quality at one job isnโ€™t affected/ doesnโ€™t affect the other

      BTW, check your companyโ€™s moonlighting policy. Somewhere over there it should be written that you need to inform your manager/ HR and/ or take permission. Be vague as appropriate about say โ€˜Iโ€™m looking at consulting on the side to a small startup company, the work will not be conflicting with what I do and I will be consulting on the weekends, outside of company work hours and not using any company benefits/ material/ assets for this work, etcโ€™

      Do this on email and when you get the approval, send a copy of that to your personal email, cover your ass all the way.

      Nah it's fine man. Go ahead and do it. How's life at Amazon though? Seems like you could be making way more.
