Man makes over $1 million USD working multiple jobs from home

This was way back in Spring. I believe he has downsized since, but this was the post from March 2022

Yeah, I know too many words.

Cliffs: Guy works in IT. Has 5 Jobs. 4 out of 5 of these jobs are Fortune 500 companies. Works at the most 15-20 hours per week and plays video games for 4-5 hours per day.

One of his positions is Scrum Master, but this type of position is usually for companies that already make bank.

The scrum master helps the team enhance and streamline the processes by which they achieve their goals. They do so as a team member, or collaborator, ideally not as someone in control. The best scrum teams are self-organizing, and therefore don't react well to top-down management.

"I am in IT. I have a fairly niche title that everybody wants right now. I have 5 full time jobs, 4 of which are fortune 500 companies. If I manage all 5 for a year, I will make around 1.2 million in 2022. I made 16 dollars an hour in 2016. I'm still struggling grasping the sheer amount of money dumping into my bank account.

At the start of 2021 I got a new job. It paid around 70k (105k to ~170k) more than I was making at my previous job. I had the inside scoop from a previous coworker, so I was able to name drop and negotiate effectively. I was tempted to keep both jobs, since due to covid both were fully remote. My fiance is incredibly risk averse, so she talked me out of it. As I got situated in my new position, I became increasingly set on getting a second job. I played video games from 8-4, and sat in meetings barely paying attention. I've probably done around 15 hours of real work since I started in January of last year. In April I opened my resume to the world and by June I bagged job 2 (82 bucks an hour). Holy crap! Two jobs! I was giddy with the money, terrified of meetings overlapping, and horrified if they found out about each other. As I settled in to job 2, I found the meetings to be tedious. There were around 4 hours of meetings each day for job 2. I suffered through them, agreeing to job 3 (having never stopped interviewing. I just made my salary expectations higher and waited for something to fall in my lap). My thought process was that job 3 (90 an hour corp to corp) would likely replace job 2, as job 1 is a laughable cake walk. However, since I am now in the position of power, I decided to try to flex it a bit. I told my project manager that the meetings were a waste of my time. They got nothing done, and they didn't contribute to my work at all. I now participate in an average of 45 minutes of meetings each week for job 2. Job 3 is also a cake walk - around 1.5 hours a week of meetings, probably 5 hours a week worth of work.

I continue to field any job that will hear my salary expectations. I am now saying 95 an hour is my salary expectation. Another corp to corp gig comes around, and the hiring manager loves me. Once again being in the position of power, I am able to simply set my expectations with ZERO fear of the results - "Given the scope of the work, my salary expectation is 105 an hour". "The highest we can go is 100." "Nope." They gave me my request. They then tried to push back my start date a week. I told them "I had already gave my two weeks at my previous job, so they will need to pay me for the absent week". They hemmed and hawed, they tried to say no. I simply told them that I wouldn't work there then. They paid me 4200 dollars for a week that I didn't even sign in. I expected this job to fold quickly, as it's with a VERY prestigious company and there is quite a bit of spotlight on my role. It turns out that I haven't done fu*k all since I started mid October. At 4200 dollars a week to go to a standup each morning to say I have nothing to do since *October*, job 4 is somehow an even bigger cake walk than job 1.

On Monday I start job 5. Initially having agreed to 115, I tried to press them for 127 an hour, but ended up at 120. This appears to be another job that I will just sort of expect to get fired from, but hopefully it turns into another easy 5k a week for doing jack sh*t.


Let's talk about things that I think are working for me:

1: Be fearless. After all, once you get job 2 your risk absolutely plummets. It is ingrained in you to be terrified of getting fired. That fear can fu*king die when you move into your second role. The amount of relief of not having to worry about what your boss thinks of you, or how you accidentally overslept and that might p*ss off some clown in charge, it all fades. It's beyond freeing.

2: Be willing to be fired. I have the luxury of having job 1 be a cake walk with incredible benefits. So, from there, who gives a fu*k about getting fired from job x? I try to keep job 1 happy (in the future probably not saying things like "I am going to actively find a new job" lol) and don't really give a sh*t about the others. I try to do the absolute bare minimum to keep all the jobs, since replacing one is a pain, but any fear of getting fired just isn't there.

3: Flex. Your. Power. Be willing to say "I can't make that meeting" or "This meeting is a waste of my time." People don't want to rock the boat. They don't want to do something that might be stupid. Use the fact that most people also want to do the bare minimum to get by. I have had zero pushback when I've asked meetings to be moved, or "Hey, I can't make the standup today".

4: fu*k having to defend yourself. Just say "I can't make it". I have gotten zero pushback on this.

5: Use your power position in not needing to listen about the job that is offering that paltry 65 an hour. Recruiters have a range. Demand the range. If it doesn't fit 10-15 bucks an hour more than your current job, tell them no. I EAGERLY accepted a role at 82 an hour 6 months ago. Christmas Eve I accepted a position for nearly 50% more than that. Flex. Your. Power. Job 2 takes the power out of your employers hands and plants it firmly in your own. Use it to climb, grow, and make your life what you want.

I have paid off all my debt already, bought a second house, will have enough money to completely revamp both houses by the end of February, and plan on snowbirding from Florida to WV for the foreseeable future at the ripe age of 35. Since this is all debt free, maybe I will cut down to 2 jobs? Maybe I will just dump money into retirement (starting your own S-Corp is fu*king powerful guys. Talk to a CPA). Maybe I don't really give a fu*k? Because the world, for the first time in my life, is MY fu*king oyster.

I'm more than willing to answer any questions. Even though I have 4 active jobs right now I still play video games 4-5 hours a day. I have plenty of time. Hopefully this empowers someone to take the leap into this fu*king incredibly positive lifestyle."

A common Miscers dream life is to be able to ascend from their mom's basement, and play video games all day in the privacy of their own homes, eat drunk food, join Andrew Tate's grifting University, and troll online. This thread is showing you that it's possible, if you dream big enough and apply yourself.

Sounds like they scam themselves. They're the one hiring a guy and not following up or getting him to actually do anything.

This is exactly why people are getting axed in the tech sector. Brb provide zero to low value and expect to be overly compensated.

Noone likes to admit this but all these remote/WFH tech jobs give roughly 2 hours of work that needs to be done in a day and they pay 90-100k entry level. Say you wanted to have three jobs, you'd get a remote job on the west coast a remote job on the east coast and another in a central timezone, that way if you have meetings at, say, 9am (a very common time) there's no overlap. and you just work the three jobs simultaneously.

Granted its illegal and grounds for immediate firing if they find out, but if you can do it for a year or two, you can make serious bank,

Yeah and then be laid off for a year or two after the companies crater purely because of the cost inefficiency

This is not how you get ahead, greed will catch up with you. You get ahead by adding value to society and then being rewarded for it, this is the opposite.

yeah right.

IT is stressful and more money, comes more complexity and stress. One job that requires many hours, pressure and boom, all other jobs fail.

most you can do is 2. But if you are REALLY RAELLY GOOD at what you do (doubt this guy is), you can wing 2 jobs. Or maybe contracts.

i know he's a ******* when he says he plays video games instead of upping his skills. Anyone who works in IT knows you always always have to keep upgrading your skills.

These aren't "fly-by-night" companies. You can do this with one of your jobs being a FAANG (********/apple/amazon/netflix/google)

I left that job for the job I have now, which pays $150k, and I'm not kidding here, probably 90% of the time I've been employed I've been sleeping in or doing things unrelated to my job. If I wanted to keep my first job I easily could've done it but I didn't want to risk getting fired. That means I could effectively be pulling in $260k right now doing absolutely nothing, and at best working 15 hours a week.

There really are jobs out there that severely under utilize their employees. You have to try to figure it out during the interview; my manager at my current job literally told me "it's a pretty chill job, many people complain that they feel like they aren't doing enough" and that's what sealed the deal for me.

I will say that when I reflect on my situation, I fukking laugh out loud at the absurdity of it. I expected to be working 40-50 hours a week in my 30s and stressing out, but instead I'm at home playing video games and watching TV while collecting a paycheck. It's like being unemployed. I did NOT think it would be like this mid career.
Same here, I literally do 5-10 hours of work a week. I can easily get a 2nd remote job

Meanwhile some OF sloot is making more money than him selling pictures of her butthole.

Speaking of which, heard some sloots have more than one OF account where they have different themes. She's the blonde bimbo in one, then puts on a black wig and lace and is a goth in another, then puts on a schoolgirl outfit and tries to look underage for the p3d0's.

My wife has been working 2 fully remote jobs simultaneously for years, even before covid. At one point she was working 3 jobs at once. In addition to this she has her own thing going on the side.

And despite all of that, she still has down time. She's usually the top preformer at every job too.

Most office jobs have a lot of fluff work created by management, if you cut it out and just focus on the work you're actually hired to do you can get it done pretty quickly.

Was it not natural that a young boy who suffered from an indelible drawback like mine should have come to think that he was a secretly chosen being? I felt as though somewhere in this world a mission awaited me of which I myself still knew nothing." --Yukio Mishima
