Wow. I need to step my game up...

I've been working 4 jobs SWE roles remotely (3 full time, 1 part time) for several years now. I have to admit that the most challenging aspect of working multiple jobs is finding the right balance of working hard enough at each job just to get by. Automating a lot of the busy work sounds challenging for more hands on technical roles. I may need to take some pay cuts to find easier roles that I can automate.

If anyone has any tips on how to automate parts of their engineering work I'm all ears!

I've done this as well, multiple swe jobs, I also did not find ways to automate. Just trying to get a little something done every day to report in the stand ups is what I did. Most teams are so low performing it was easy. Every so often a new manager would come along and make my life hell then I'd have to move on.
