#3I have a friend that does this, has 3 jobs...makes nearly 500k. IMHO, it's not worth the stress though.

That's my biggest reservation about doing this. I feel like the possibility of one finding out about the other would weigh on me pretty heavily. Not that I think it's unethical, mind you. I'd just be stressed about the worst-case scenario and the impact it would have on my career.
Would love the double income though, not gonna lie.

Of course it's unethical, it's time theft. It requires you to be dishonest. You can make money as a con artist in many ways, this is just one of them. You can lie about your qualifications and experience too. If your only reservation with being dishonest is the possibility you might get caught, I think that says a lot about you as a person.

If you are accomplishing your job to an acceptable standard it is not unethical.
As long as it is not hourly, you just have to accomplish your tasks.

If you're salaried, you're not paid for time, you're paid for output.

Of course, if you're an hourly employee and don't (as you mostly shouldn't) have non compete clauses of some sort it's mostly fine. However, as a salaried employer who generally can't also work for a competitor, it's pretty scummy unless it's something unrelated and you're putting in your hours--which it would be hard to do. I'm sure there are "life hacking" people who think this is fine but it's really not.
And if you're anyone other than a low level drone of course people know who you work for and you're publicly visible.

#10How 'powerful' are employed? What is their employment status?
At previous company CTO was in boards of another 5+ companies + owned partially another 2. How that works at 'that' level?
