Is there a guide to having two jobs?
Is there a guide to having two jobs? like a how to not mess it up or make the managers suspicious or keep up without dropping the ball on either side?

there is no one-stop-shop guide because many people have extremely different situations. what works for you may not work for someone else which can render many parts of the guide useless
- the first thing to note is to ensure that you are as indistinguishable from a 1-jobber as possible. which, frankly, the bar is really low already since 1-jobbers tend to also slack off from time to time. You're just re-allocating that time for another job.
- It's your choice whether or not you want to shoot for sustainability, or churn-and-burn (another reason why a one-stop-shop guide doesn't work because i could be giving you advice on how to sustain and maintain two FAANG-tier roles for years, but you may only be interested in taking on 5 different 100k jobs and just churn them when things go south)...

- as per "specific situations" who knows. some managers look deeply at whether or not you left your "current job" or not which forces people to change their strategies on OE (like quit 1, accept 2 offers). Other managers are chill. Without knowing your current 2J setup you'll need to add clarifying details to get a more targeted answer.
For the purpose of infOE, there might be a generalized one in the future.
WHy there are no guides:
there'll be a different guide for
the warehouse worker working 55 hours a week
a data analyst working 10 hours a week
a pharmatech worker who is working 40 hours a week
a SWE FAANGer
a SWE f500-er
the college student
and everyone in between lmao
And multiply that by those who
are willing to forge pay stubs
are willing to pretend to be unemployed
are able to get 2 offers and quit their own job
are able to work for an LLC to hide their jobs
are already OE but want to C2C to have sustainable OE
want to keep using their current job on resume but are willing to accept risks of j2 calling j1 after hired
