If you can do it and not impact anyone at any of those jobs you’re a wizard.

I honestly think I just got lucky with the jobs. Low meetings, rarely overlap, largely autonomous, fully remote.

I could probably make as much or more working one single job at Big Tech and selling my soul, but there is something freeing in making a percentage of that much but spread out / diversified.

If I ever get laid off at one, I probably have others. If an acquisition or reorg happens and I become redundant at one, at least I have the others. Is this whole situation ideal for all? Probably not, but there is a bit of mental comfort and freedom it gives me that I really can't put a price on.

I love the work I do and the people I work with, I'll put in a 20+ hour day if I have to, to make sure I hold up my end of the deal - but I'm lucky and I really haven't had to (yet).
