How to Triple Your Corporate Income Without Starting a Business: The Insider’s Guide to Job Stacking

Imagine if you could make $200K, $300K, or even more without launching a startup, side hustle, or sacrificing your free time. Sounds pretty wild, right?

But here’s the crazy part:

There’s a small, but growing, group of people out there who are doing just that—stacking multiple corporate jobs and raking in the cash. Last year, I decided to push the boundaries and worked three corporate jobs simultaneously.

The result?

I took my income from $80K to over $390K, all while keeping my sanity intact. And the best part? You can do it too.

If you’ve followed along for a while, you’ve probably heard the name for this: “overemployment” or “job stacking,” and it’s flipping the script on how we think about work and financial security. In this post, I’m going to break down what overemployment is, who it’s for, the pros and cons, and how you can start stacking your own jobs if you’re curious. Let’s dive in.

So, What Exactly Is Overemployment?

Overemployment is like discovering the hidden menu at your favorite restaurant—it’s not widely advertised, but once you know about it, you can’t ignore it. The idea is simple: hold multiple full-time remote jobs without your employers knowing. These are six-figure roles that traditionally require 40 hours a week. But with remote work, automation, and AI, you can complete high-quality work in less time, freeing up hours for another job.

This isn’t just a theory—I run a program called Scale Your Salary that has helped over 40 people stack multiple jobs this year, earning between $20K and $30K per month. It’s a whole new option for career path that is just now becoming an option.

Why Are People Jumping on the Overemployment Train?

The main reason? Financial security. We’re living in uncertain times where companies are cutting jobs like never before, and the old-school loyalty between employers and employees is quickly becoming a relic of the past. With inflation squeezing our savings, relying on just one paycheck feels like walking a tightrope without a safety net. Overemployment offers that extra layer of protection. If one job disappears, you’ve still got another one (or two) to keep your finances stable.

And with remote work now the norm and AI tools simplifying our tasks, you don’t have to burn out with 80-hour workweeks to make this happen. It’s about working smarter, not harder.

What’s the Catch? The Risks and Rewards

This all sounds pretty great, but let’s get real about the risks. Is it legal to have multiple jobs? Short answer: Yes. There’s no federal law against it. However, most companies have contracts that include non-compete clauses or other restrictions. These clauses are often murky and inconsistently enforced, but it’s crucial to know what you’re getting into.

The worst-case scenario? You could get fired. But let’s be honest—getting fired is a risk with any job, especially in today’s volatile market. The key difference with overemployment is that if you lose one job, you’ve still got others to fall back on. The chance of losing all your jobs at once is pretty slim if you’re smart about managing your time and workload.

That said, overemployment isn’t for everyone. For instance, if you’re on a visa, getting caught could lead to much more severe consequences, like losing your right to stay in the country. So, make sure you carefully weigh the risks before diving in.

Which Jobs Work Best for Overemployment?

Not all jobs are created equal when it comes to overemployment. Remote roles in fields like product management, software development, finance, sales, marketing, and data analytics are perfect candidates. These positions usually offer the flexibility and autonomy you need to juggle multiple roles.

But let’s be clear—some jobs are harder to stack than others. If your role requires a lot of face time or client interaction, like a customer-facing sales job, it’s going to be more challenging. But with the right mindset and a bit of strategy, even those roles can be managed.

The Mindset Shift: From Overachiever to Efficiency Ninja

Here’s the thing: The hardest part about overemployment isn’t the workload—it’s changing your mindset. Most of us are conditioned to think that we need to grind out 40 hours a week to prove our worth. But overemployment requires a different approach: focusing on doing “good enough” work instead of trying to be the top performer.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you should do a crappy job. What I’m talking about is shifting your priorities. Instead of aiming to impress your boss, focus on delivering solid results that keep everyone happy. A three out of five on your annual review is plenty to keep you employed, and it frees up your time to focus on your other roles.

The Tools You Need: AI, Automation, and Outsourcing

To make overemployment work, you’ve got to be smart about how you use your time. There are three main tools at your disposal: AI, automation, and outsourcing.

• AI: Whether it’s ChatGPT for drafting emails or a coding tool to speed up your work, AI can help you get things done faster. The more you integrate AI into your workflow, the more time you’ll save.

• Automation: Look for ways to automate the repetitive parts of your job. Whether it’s scheduling meetings, managing emails, or generating reports, automation can free up hours of your week.

• Outsourcing: If you’re making $10K a month from a job, consider hiring a virtual assistant. Many professionals outsource routine tasks to skilled workers from places like the Philippines. This lets you focus on higher-value work while still meeting all your job requirements.

By using these strategies, I managed to cut my workload across three full-time jobs down to about 25 hours a week. Not everyone will have the same experience, but if you approach overemployment with the right mindset, it’s totally doable.

What About the Ethics?

Let’s talk ethics for a second. Everyone’s moral compass is different, and I’m not here to tell you what’s right or wrong. For me, as long as I’m delivering high-quality work and providing value to my employers, I’m comfortable with the arrangement. But this is a personal decision, and it’s important to align your actions with your values.

One thing I will say: None of this works if you’re not producing good work. You can’t phone it in and expect to keep multiple jobs. But if you can consistently deliver, overemployment can be a powerful tool for financial freedom.
