Soham Parekh is just the tip of the iceberg, just like this Redditor pulling $800k a yr working 5 jobs. r/overemployed is a ~500k community where people just maniacally discuss this. There are 1000s of Soham Parekhs we don't know about.
The “overemployed” playbook is well known: -hardware mouse jigglers -remote-only jobs -AI everything -camera off / async culture -week 1 PTO -"focus work" on calendar -keep LinkedIn obscure -outsource busywork -do the work quickly, deliver it slowly -"nothing from my end"
To be clear, this is a complete non-issue if your employment contract is okay with it. It's only an issue when you lie about it, falsify your resume and mislead. That's fraud.
