Multi-Startup Hustler: How One Developer Tricked Four Companies at Once
When you go to a job interview, and your profile already shows a history of three other jobs – this isn’t fiction, but the reality of modern “polyworking.” Indian developer Soham Parekh worked at four startups simultaneously, and only after a public complaint by one of the founders did it come to light that he was also employed at three other places and attending interviews with new companies. Why has “polyworking” become so widespread?
Remote work has opened doors for IT specialists who know how to arrange their schedules to earn salaries for multiple “full” workdays:
Lack of tasks + high rates
Many startups pay generously, and developers have realized: they can put in minimal effort while earning as if working full-time.
The r/overemployed community
On Reddit, there are already 437,000 members sharing lifehacks on how to juggle 3-4 jobs at once and make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
Sleight of hand and time management
A polyworker only needs to keep tasks on “pause” and switch between projects depending on deadlines.
The risk of exposure
As it turns out, all it takes is one founder to complain, and the hook will catch three other companies where you’re secretly employed.
Xrust.ru believes: startups are forced to adapt – from thorough resume reviews to specialized “joining tests” – to avoid being deceived by masters of multi-employment.
