Felt disrespected and undervalued recently at work and went on a job applying spree one day early in September. After a bunch of interviews, I’ve received and negotiated an offer that I have accepted for 300K TC before October hit the calendar.
My current job:
- 205K TC
- Senior SWE
- ~20-30hrs/week
- mostly remote
- NYC-based
New job:
- 300K TC
- Senior SWE
- November start date
- SF hq but remote-based
Should I keep my current job? And if so, what are the legal/illegal implications? From my understanding, both companies are not in direct/indirect conflict of interest, but I’m not so sure…sos!

However, this would absolutely be a breach of contract that you can sued by one or BOTH companies. (Imagine two sets of an army of lawyers on your ass…)
The biggest risk is of course you failing at both jobs and losing everything. Is it really worth it? Imagine the stress when both companies are in a crunch mode to deliver something. Given that Big Corps tend to follow the same seasonal patterns, it’s very likely something like that could occur simultaneously.
You’d probably be better off long term improving your skills and getting promotions. If you want a proper side hustle, there are plenty of negotiable opportunities.
