The choice is between moving to Google or Meta (TC ~ 270k MCOL) hybrid or work two tech jobs remotely at known but less prestigious (Tier 3/4) companies (TC ~320k MCOL)
Not sure 50k is worth juggling two jobs
I’m currently OE at 360. I’m trying to switch to google but TM is taking forever
Chances of getting laid off from two jobs at once are slim. Google is laying people off left and right. Culture is not what it used to be. I am actually looking to move out and getting over employed (for the third time) while I finish my personal project (1 year out). I am not a dev @ G. I work at GCP on a tech/business position. TC started at 360 but has been steadily at the 300/320 range for the last couple of years even after refreshers. Over employment with 2 and even 3 jobs is manageable. At G, it tales ALL of my experience and resume to get this TC and I have big responsibilities (do not manage people though). As over employed, you can absolutely go for less complex jobs that you can do with much less effort so you can end up working 2/3 hours a day for each and the sum of the parts ends up being a lot more than a big ole FAANG payday. Plus, the above mentioned benefit of not being sent to the street if getting laid off from one of the jobs. AND, you can partially switch jobs as often as you want because you are not risking everything every time you move. Over employment is the way (until some idiot finds a way to expose us).
I still don’t understand how you aren’t screwed by background check next time you apply somewhere while over employed
You will be stuck at tier 3/4 indefinitely while your peers at faang will be making 2-3x your overemployed TC. In your early career, focus on building your resume, not money. Too many young people are impatient and want instant gratification.
That doesn't sound right. Most Google/Meta employees will never reach more than 600k TC in MCOL area. And would assume 0 salary growth while overemployed.

Depends on the hours but resume value may be helpful at goog/meta down the road I wouldn’t bother if it were appreciably more than 40 hours a week, think of the second job as paying you 50k
