Here we go

Officially starting my OE journey next week. In 5 days I will start J2. Landed a senior role and I’m very excited. J1 does not know but I’ve got it to a point where I only have a couple busy days a week. Both are non-competing companies. Both are fully remote. J1 is East Coast hours, J2 is west coast hours. There is some overlap but not fully. I’ve also worked weekends and holidays for J1 to meet customer needs so I don’t feel bad about the overlap since they have no problem working me outside of my agreed upon hours.

J2 is a smaller start up and seem pretty laid back but they pay a LOT more than J1.

I am freezing my Equifax Work Number information (J2 already ran their checks and they know I still have J1 up until the day before I start. I think it should be ok. I also don’t think they even check because they’re a 200 person small company).

LinkedIn is hibernated.

Will have two separate computers so no wires will get crossed. And I just ordered some physical mouse shakers. I don’t see any connection between the companies from anyone who would recognize me at either company. My wife and I have vowed to not tell another soul.

I just need to hold onto both jobs for a few months until my debt is paid off and we are back in a good spot financially. Then I will cut J1 loose and focus on J2 as my primary and continue my career trajectory with the senior role. Here we go!
