1. I will be working in a field high in demand. Working multiple jobs removed the pain of the potential of being fired. But also it’s so in demand that you probably will not fire you at all because you were hard to find in the first place 2. I give no flying Fs about rising the ranks at a job or having them see me at my best. Literally just there for the paycheck. I don’t even display my full personality at work. 3. The mental health thing is critical. I’m working a field that is typically “easy”. Low work load. 4. The extra money has allowed me to max out my 401k, Roth IRA (while I still qualify), HSA and life insurance. Now we are experimenting with investing into side businesses and lending our money. I will NEVER AGAIN use “sweat equity” to build wealth. You absolutely can invest the money from your fixed income so you can build without hustling your life away (if you want to talk about protecting your mental health, starting a business without cash may not be the way) 5. You are replaceable to the job. It’s great to start seeing your job as replaceable for you, too by having multiple and not tying your ego/self worth to your title at said job. 6. Making more money has allowed me to spend more time with my passions. The idea of “the money will come” kept me broke for 2 decades. I had (and still have) determination and resolve. Having money has allowed me to achieve more even faster. Hustle culture - working my butt off for no pay because I am “building”… Never again. Never be broke. And the money you saved when you worked 2 jobs also allowed YOU to follow your dreams. You wouldn’t have been able to do a lot of what you are currently doing without that cash. You would still just be grinding. The money didn’t “just come”… you did the smart logical thing to make more money to use on your life as you see fit. I just know I never want to be in poverty ever again. Never again broke AND working my butt off. Nope nope nope.

I’ve decided to work two remote jobs for two reasons. 1) cost of living - I live in California and my first job is actually a pretty good job and pays well BUT that’s not the case in California! I barely make ends meet here with my good job. 2) student loans - I needed a degree to get a good job and my degree is really the reason why I got the first job since I didn’t have any previous experience in that field. However, the thought of having to pay my loans for 20 years scares the living hell out of me. The sooner I can finish those the better for my mental health. That reassurance tops any other mental health issues I think I could have from working the two jobs

I try to have similar technologies between projects, so if I fix some issue or learn something on one project it can be often instantly used on the other one to make life much easier. I manage to finish both works in around 8-10h maximum, although as you said, sometimes I wish I had more time for my family or just to read something.

That’s fair. If you could sustain two jobs for a few years then I think you’re right. I was going crazy after 8 month and was only able to save $60,000 after paying off all of our debt. So in my mind it’s hard to make the wealth Naval is talking about with only $60k to invest. But after several years of doing two jobs you could save up some enough to make some meaningful investments. I appreciate the comment! 👊🏻

Vey good insights brother. thanks for sharing your experience 🙂

To anyone who is watching this video and trying to get multiple remote jobs. Stop overthinking and just do it. The tricks are.. 1. Stay low and don't announce to the world you're doing multiple jobs. Only tell your close family if needed. 2. Plan ahead. Have a clear target why you need multiple jobs? Do research & make your own system that works for you. 3. Join a like-minded community for support. 4. Don't fall in love with your jobs. 5. Don't get comfortable. You have two jobs? Great. Why not do side business for extra income? Why not create that online store you always talk about? Start building something. 6. Stop overthinking about fulfilment shits. Just take the money or someone else will.

Love the video bro very inspirational

Real reason @ 4:50 Good stuff Jake! There's nothing wrong with being the grey man though at your second job. I think a second job is a tremendous way to save for a short to mid term goal. I don't think it's sustainable for years though.

I have started 2 jobs for about 2 months now. I think everything you said is correct. From my experience. 1, For someone consider working 2 jobs, you really have to finish daily work within 10 hours, or maximum around 50 hrs per week. Above 50 hours per week is not sustainable for anyone. 2, 2 jobs are my insurance for unemployment. The chance to be fired from both companies at same time is way smaller than fried by 1 company. 3 and final thoughts, I think the environment is extremely good for remote workers. Corporate america is not stupid, they will start checking employee activities in the future, or bring people back to work. Having 2 jobs is not forever, so, while it can, enjoy the money coming in.

I really liked your video. I think you are very wise. Hope you the best

Nice to see a fellow northern Utahn on KZread!

I’m working 2 full time remote jobs but has a different shift on both. So basically i work 16 hrs per day with both weekend off. Both companies are not based in my country. 1st from S’pore, 2nd is based in Germany. It has been 15 months and not get caught yet. I probably not gonna work like this forever since it can be exhausted but I’ll push myself at least for another 7 months for the money. I want to clear my debt and buy a house. This is doable but need to be extra careful. I never lie yet since no one ever asked me whether i work 2 job for now. If somehow my employer ask, I’ll just come clean

Imo the benefits of over employment are experienced when having a plan you’re working towards: 1. Pay of debt 2. Increase savings 3. Diversify the extra income into investments 4. Specific purchase goals Doing it to live paycheck to paycheck is pointless. But think it’s great if it accelerates you towards the end game/exit.

Hi Jake, Thanks for the video! It is definitely helpful. I do have a question though. - When you are applying for 2nd job, when they ask for references what did you do or how did you handle it? - When you are filling out the tax forms such as W4 and other forms, how did you fill that out? I believe there’s a question saying “Do you have a 2nd job?” Last question is “When they ask for references?” What do you think we should do? Btw, Can we connect on LinkedIn? Thank you, -T

Hey Jake, You have a lot going for you. You've got 'stage presence' and work well with the camera. You've got a nice resonating tone of voice and use smart communication techniques - ie making the viewer feel like they are being spoken to individually, not being 'talked at'. I appreciate that you stick to the subject matter and don't ramble. It means people like me won't be trying to skip forward to get to the meat of the video, or worse giving up and click on something that looks more interesting in the sidebar. "Ooooh, 'Why Netflix is Collapsing' - What's that all about?' Humbling yourself and asking the viewer within the first minute of your video for feedback is solid way to connect and engage with viewers and grow your subscription. KZreadrs that regularly engage with their viewers definitely have more 'repeat customers'. said Captain Obvious. I'm a communications consultant, not a KZreadr, so I am probably preaching to the choir here. You probably know more about this business than I ever well. But I do know a little bit about communication techniques - blah blah blah. For instance, I'm boring myself right now so I'm probably boring you and anyone else who is still reading this. I know, I know, 'TLDR'. Whateva, I do what I want. My paid comments are far better written. JOKING. I don't get paid to leave comments. Wait, is that a thing? I wonder if that's a thing. Keep it up Jake, sorry for the above blah blah blah, not sorry enough to edit. Cheers!

I found this video valuable because if anything its convinced me I am probably the small fraction of the population that WOULD be suited to working two jobs remotely. 1. Im homeless and on someone's mercy for shelter and food right now. Im learning to code on my own (Javascript, CSS, HTML, Python to start) while working as an admin for a small company practically under the table in the meantime. I have less time than ever and feel the least productive I ever have. I have a goal of being able to simply make rent and basic cost of living in my city so it is very much about the money for me while learning. Im replacable at any job I go to so right now im not tied to anything should I get fired. 2. Im not attached to a niche or professi9n right now and more money would change my life alongside feeling like Im actively helping to change my situation. 3. I already suffer from depression but im high functioning and have my own systems to cope. Working my way out of straight up poverty and hand to mouth living would help a ton and help me escalate my skills to a career where maybe working twice as hard to survive isnt necessary in the future. 4. I am a college drop out with no hope of going back so im learning a wide scope of skills to be able to translate into a future career across many different paths so I just might be able to make that decision on a direction further down the road but right now i dont want to limit myself by tying myself to one idea of what I want to do with a certain skill set. I want to continue learning and build up a good base of knowledge for myself studying on my own and achieve the ability to be adaptable. Thank you so much for kind of killing a ton of my doubt about what I'm doing in seeking dual full time employment. A singular job just isnt enough for what I want to achieve right now.

I thought about it but opted out of it because I didn’t want to give up the time with my family.

Hi Jake, here's a question. What do you do about workplace verification that HR does? Your new job's HR or outsourced company will call all jobs on your resume/application and ask to verify you worked there. If your current HR has a direct line to you manager, they may tip them off. Any solutions?

Yeah I’m in hr - now - used to be coo type jobs. There are “senior” level roles that are almost all mentoring and counseling and strategizing (corporate babysitting basically) and there’s no “tasks” to do or admin or projects. I’ve found half my time in any job was always consumed by forced socialization and irritating chit chat and office invasions from the endless bored and idle “work friends” you must have… I can do two jobs easily at home far better than one in an office. It depends on the type of work. If it’s a skills based job or anything involving any kind of admin don’t do it. “Exec” stuff or similar you can do easily. Maybe even more than 2

You missed covering one aspect of working 2 jobs that rarely gets talked about. When you eventually quit 1 or both of the jobs and you go to get your next position, HOW do you list the two positions at separate companies with overlapping timelines? The best I could come up with was to refer to it as "Sanctioned Contract Work".

I already plan on retiring absolutely no later than age 50, and that's with "only" one job and no real effort to generate other income. I max my 401k and I make sure that my lifestyle doesn't increase at the same rate as my income. For every additional $500 I make, I MIGHT tack an extra $100 onto my "potential fun money" budget, so call it 20%. Anything above that, what's the point? I'm hoarding money NOW so I can drop out of the job market a decade or two before everyone else. Make the sacrifice, people. It's worth it.

What about non-tech jobs? If you're doing something that isn't on the phones then heck yeah it's a good idea. Why make just 15 an hour when you can double or even triple that?

The video turned up from having two remote jobs to money education. LOL. I do two remote jobs at once and I'm pretty educated about money. in my opinion just do it if you can handle all of that stress. I got so used to it tho. only got fired once that's all, but I'm always looking for other companies that could pay better or just as a fallback just in case. pretty good plan if you ask me :).

I'm drinking an expensive beer at the table watching this video and I'm thinking about working on three part-time jobs. I feel this guy like a friend who is helping me to decide my future 😅

Ok......but with a full-blown recession here, and the fact that companies make it almost impossible to get a raise nowadays and they don't value at all anyway I think you have no reason to be loyal to a company. Also, what if you have multiple jobs but you either Outsource some or most of the work? This way you are making more money but you are not having to work more hours and it sounded like your reason for getting caught was so unique to you that as long as you are smart about it you shouldn't get fired but if you did there are companies that can quickly replace your job for you. And while you have multiple incomes that gives you the space to work on growing your own business.

Could you reference Naval's video, thanks for the video

I did it with 2 full time warehouses jobs. Capped out at 96 hours in a week. I wanted to hit 100. Of course getting an emergency fund back AND paying debt down is the best way. Full time work while full time HVAC courses.. Whats the difference? Now, my resovlve is stronger and will and ablilty to only survive on 2 and half hours of sleep its now I KNOW I can do. We are all pawns well pawns do not require that much effort. Just muscle memory. Cheers all and good luck GET THAT FINANCIAL SECURITY.

Man, I am a Product Designer exactly at the situation you are describing here. I mean, I'm not working 2 jobs now, but I am so comfortable currently that I am considering to make this leap. Do you have a Twitter or something? Just looking for a friend, you know :)

Can I leave the job without telling them even if they have my ID.? PLZ respond?

So after all, how long have you worked 2 remote jobs? like what was the total duration of your "over employement"

It’s honestly depends on what type of job your doing ..

fyi: keep talking and posting ideas! 👏

Also I noticed, many are moving to farms, to enjoy the nature, the animals, and run away of the craziness. This is happening in the whole globe.

what job tittles did you have

Last year i worked my remote contact tracer job at my full time in person job. Was a wild few months 😭😭 def wouldn’t suggest it.

Actually it can make you rich if you use the extra money you’re earning to invest

Having a large salary makes it pretty easy to own a large amount of equity.

You didn’t have back office support from India helping you?

dude the kind of money hes talking about making is more multiple times what a lot of people live off. so what if its spread out over the year that doesnt mean you spend it all wtf?

Think it depends on the industry in which those jobs are in....

100% depends on the industry, job and company!

How did you manage to not add your 2nd job on Linkedin profile? I am pretty sure you had colleagues from both companies in your connections. Not adding a role is kinda suspicious

I'm curious how did a company find out you were working 2 jobs?

This video is low key promoting hustle culture even though you are speaking from the privileged place of earning $200k+ from a second job and using that money to invest in the things you care about. What I really want to know is … knowing your goals and your family’s needs … would you really not do it over again? If you could rewind the clock, you wouldn’t work a second job again?

I think it's actually promoting the exact opposite. He's saying all of this only matters if you enjoy your life.

@@tannershort no he’s not. At the end he talks about how to create wealth - using the same old “a job sucks” rhetoric hustle culture gurus use. If you’re not using your job to create wealth, what is the alternative? Instead of using money to invest, it implies starting a business using your time and energy. Because I care about my life, I won’t do that. I will get a job to pay me well above my means so I can invest that money and use my free time enjoying life.

That's tough.. I think if I could go back I would not do it again. I was chasing short term money that I didn't need and putting off what I really wanted to do. But if the time ever comes when I really need money then I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another job. Thanks for the question!
