I believe you. People that doubt these things are usually projecting some kind of insecurity. "It's impossible!"... no actually, not only is it possible but it happens all the time and yes it happens with FAANG workers too.

It's funny, when this topic comes up, the people that are juggling multiple jobs are usually stuck in this weird place where they want to convince people it's true but at the same time not draw too much attention to it (for obvious reasons).

And a lot of this comes from people who are far less wordly than they think they are. Like there are people that genuinely believe that no one in security makes more than $200k except CISOs.

I doubt these claims because I know human nature pushes people to lie in order to contribute to conversations.

I understand it's entirely possible to juggle two remote jobs, I just don't think it's nearly as common as people claim or think, which is why it's an easy lie to make. It's got nothing to do with the total salaries involved, and everything to do with the exceedingly rare nature of the claim.

I can believe it happens, but not with two jobs paying $600k each.

It's total compensation (including stocks and bonuses).

Well, if I didn't believe you before, why do you think "It's true!" would sway me?

You said "it's not true" and not "I believe it's not true", i.e. a fact vs opinion, so I reacted.

But that ignores my point; you said something, I said what you said isn't true, so when you restate what you already said without adding anything, you're not improving your position.
