Soham Parekh is just the tip of the iceberg, just like this Redditor pulling $800k a yr working 5 jobs.
r/overemployed is a ~500k community where people just maniacally discuss this.
There are 1000s of Soham Parekhs we don't know about.

The “overemployed” playbook is well known:
-hardware mouse jigglers
-remote-only jobs
-AI everything
-camera off / async culture
-week 1 PTO
-"focus work" on calendar
-keep LinkedIn obscure
-outsource busywork
-do the work quickly, deliver it slowly
-"nothing from my end"

To be clear, this is a complete non-issue if your employment contract is okay with it.
It's only an issue when you lie about it, falsify your resume and mislead. That's fraud.
