Interesting. I need to learn more about this from this friend of yours, for academic reasons

So you have to maintain separate resumes once you split into two or more simultaneous roles. You probably want to do this once you've reached software engineer or senior software engineer level and are feeling very comfortable.

Sometimes you'll have two meetings at the same time which can be kind of a pain. A 3.5mm audio mixer can enable you to mix the audio outputs from two or more computers so you can listen to both at the same time. As software engineer, you probably only have to talk occasionally.

This can probably apply to other jobs where you can easily exaggerate the amount of time tasks are taking. Most people in the software engineering industry seem to have no idea how long a given task should take.

I heard this can be risky with two jobs in the same industry due to limits of one account per person. This was from a tiktok video though so I don't have any other details.

Unless you luck out, it would probably be difficult to accomplish this with one or more of the jobs being FAANG employers, but I'd be rooting for anyone who tried.

Any other particular questions?

I admit I didn't expect you to go into the specifics of it but this is some next level shit that never crossed my mind!

Tbh I'd chicken out trying to do that now, but I've definitely been in a few jobs where it felt like I could get away with it. Makes me miss even more the days when you could easily work fully remotely. Maybe one day...

Ah yeah, they definitely have to be remote roles for it to be feasible. Good luck to you!
