> freelancing for six clients based on a day rate

Oh. That's materially different from what I think of when I read "I have 6 jobs".

(Funny though to read some of the details; it's probably a good exercise in boundary-setting)

"Found the guy who can get five years experience in a system that's one year old. No wonder he has 6 jobs."

Best comment.

Was expecting to read from r/overemployed, but not too disappointed to see it on r/trueoffmychest.

> I will be able to retire in a couple of years if I keep doing this. Not sure about the ethic of this (companies pay me and I do work for them), but it is changing my life, and I will become a millionaire before being 40.

Awesome. IMO it should be fine as long as you deliver what you're expected to deliver. Thus if given the possibility I'd gladly go for it.

I read stories a few years ago about missed overemployment opportunities: a guy who automated his job and got fired[1]; another one who literally outsourced his work to China but got busted and fired after the network team saw suspicious incoming connections on the corporate network[2].

Glad to see this getting popular though, with remote working making easier than ever. I'll think about it when I have meetings and "slow" days.

I wouldn't even be mad, if I were his employer (unless his slowness materially affects my business). I respect a good hustle.

6 jobs and you only pulling 700k?
