How they can take multiple jobs at the same time?

I mean the real works, for example 4 different people from different company asking for 4 different solution it’ll take some times to process

How big is contract works over there, in my place I never heard someone take more than 2 jobs 1 fulltime 1 freelance

That's the issue, you care about the quality of your work.

There's no way to black list bad candidates. If they interview well (or the guy they hire interviews well) they'll get the job. Coast the contract for 3 months, collect the pay check then move on.

Take three jobs. Outsource all three jobs to someone cheaper. That guy outsources it too. Someone down the pipeline is someone like I used to be, getting paid $15k/year, doing $150k projects that took 40 hours to complete.

When I interview in Poland or Czechia and they brag "it's a project for IBM/Citi/Mercedes/whatever", "the platform allows our client to make transactions worth millions of dollars". All I think is "oh you little greedy incompetent fucker, after this call I'm ghosting you".

I mean what are you expecting when applying to a software house or a staffing agency?

Prostitutes, yacht parties, and a Macbook.

Should have joined crypto startups.

You don't take an active project. You take a maintenance job on a product which is approaching its death in some big corporation. Nobody cares about you, you might have to fix some bugs, but otherwise there is no pressure. If you make a mistake and workload in one of those picks up, you leave, but even if you're a total dead weight it's going to take some months before you are fired.
