• If your current salary isn’t cutting it, you’re not alone—thousands of workers are turning to “overemployment,” juggling multiple full-time jobs and, in some cases, raking in over $500,000 a year. This trend has grown in popularity, especially among tech companies that have embraced remote work: “With AI, the walls of tech are coming down,” one user wrote on Reddit.

Have you ever been in a work meeting and wondered why a colleague always keeps their camera off? Or why they’re always seemingly offline on Slack? It might be because they are trying to get away with an elaborate plot to work at two companies at once—or maybe close to half a dozen—and bring in a salary exceeding $500,000.
