https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed/comments/s12c8l/i_start_job_5_on_monday_12_mil_a_year_heres_my/ I am in IT. I have a fairly niche title that everybody wants right now. I have 5 full time jobs, 4 of which are fortune 500 companies. If I manage all 5 for a year, I will make around 1.2 million in 2022. I made 16 dollars an hour in 2016. I'm still struggling grasping the sheer amount of money dumping into my bank account. At the start of 2021 I got a new job. It paid around 70k (105k to ~170k) more than I was making at my previous job. I had the inside scoop from a previous coworker, so I was able to name drop and negotiate effectively. I was tempted to keep both jobs, since due to covid both were fully remote. My fiance is incredibly risk averse, so she talked me out of it. As I got situated in my new position, I became increasingly set on getting a second job. I played video games from 8-4, and sat in meetings barely paying attention. I've probably done around 15 hours of real work since I started in January of last year. In April I opened my resume to the world and by June I bagged job 2 (82 bucks an hour). Holy crap! Two jobs! I was giddy with the money, terrified of meetings overlapping, and horrified if they found out about each other. As I settled in to job 2, I found the meetings to be tedious. There were around 4 hours of meetings each day for job 2. I suffered through them, agreeing to job 3 (having never stopped interviewing. I just made my salary expectations higher and waited for something to fall in my lap). My thought process was that job 3 (90 an hour corp to corp) would likely replace job 2, as job 1 is a laughable cake walk. However, since I am now in the position of power, I decided to try to flex it a bit. I told my project manager that the meetings were a waste of my time. They got nothing done, and they didn't contribute to my work at all. I now participate in an average of 45 minutes of meetings each week for job 2. Job 3 is also a cake walk - around 1.5 hours a week of meetings, probably 5 hours a week worth of work. I continue to field any job that will hear my salary expectations. I am now saying 95 an hour is my salary expectation. Another corp to corp gig comes around, and the hiring manager loves me. Once again being in the position of power, I am able to simply set my expectations with ZERO fear of the results - "Given the scope of the work, my salary expectation is 105 an hour". "The highest we can go is 100." "Nope." They gave me my request. They then tried to push back my start date a week. I told them "I had already gave my two weeks at my previous job, so they will need to pay me for the absent week". They hemmed and hawed, they tried to say no. I simply told them that I wouldn't work there then. They paid me 4200 dollars for a week that I didn't even sign in. I expected this job to fold quickly, as it's with a VERY prestigious company and there is quite a bit of spotlight on my role. It turns out that I haven't done fuck all since I started mid October. At 4200 dollars a week to go to a standup each morning to say I have nothing to do since *October*, job 4 is somehow an even bigger cake walk than job 1. On Monday I start job 5. Initially having agreed to 115, I tried to press them for 127 an hour, but ended up at 120. This appears to be another job that I will just sort of expect to get fired from, but hopefully it turns into another easy 5k a week for doing jack shit.
"The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
if true, this is absolutely incredible. not something id ever do but i always love a story of a common man playing the system. how did he pass the background checks though? isnt this what they are built to prevent?
They only check what's on your resume.
B2B never check anything at all.
What the f? This can’t be real. Dude just happens to constantly land offers only from companies that supposedly have zero work and goes to daily stand ups with nothing to say? Plus one “very prestigious” company lol
He doesn't care about being fired though, so giving no update on stand-ups isn't that much of an issue
Right but how many days can you say nothing and not get noticed? He doesn’t care about being fired but he also hasn’t been fired apparently. And somehow these jobs are all 200k+?
😂😂😂 Thanks to for this! I haven't laughed that much in a while!
Here's a photo of the guy's desk: https://imgur.com/a/PExxflI Via https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed/comments/s12c8l/i_start_job_5_on_monday_12_mil_a_year_heres_my/hs5wtx7
LMAO
Seems fake, If it’s real, then he is genius. I know some people do 2 jobs but it’s different field in healthcare
There's no way it's fake, the guy seems legit. He's honestly not expecting to NOT get fired. Which exact part of the story do you find fake? He's basically acting as a Sr SRE Consultant to them, knowing all the buzzwords to get the rest of the team going. Knows the talk, does the walk, delegates the rest. Probably not much different than many L7 IC folk at Amazon.
Ha ha really L7 Amazon do ntng lol 😂
I fucking love you you’re my hero
Lol… tool.
