> freelancing for six clients based on a day rate<p>Oh. That's materially different from what I think of when I read "I have 6 jobs".<p>(Funny though to read some of the details; it's probably a good exercise in boundary-setting)
Was expecting to read from r/overemployed, but not too disappointed to see it on r/trueoffmychest.<p>> 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.<p>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.<p>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].<p>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.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/4nxfxl/programmer_automates_his_job_for_6_years_finally/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/4nxfxl/programm...</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4wll5r/til_in_2013_a_us_it_worker_outsourced_his_own_job/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4wll5r/til_i...</a>
