20 years ago I worked 3 jobs simultaneously. During the day I managed an infrastructure engineering team and at night I worked as 3rd shift lead in a NOC. During downtime in the NOC, there was plenty of it, I worked on freelance technical writing jobs. I think everyone in that NOC worked a day job. People would occasionally be found out and fired. I only maintained that pace for a couple of years before deciding I'd like to have a social life and sleep a full 8 hours again.

I started working fully remote in 2018 and considered jumping on the multiple job train again but decided against it. I retired a few months ago, at 53, and now part-time manage a horse farm which is more work than 3 simultaneous tech jobs was.
