This is the more common outcome than the successful ones, but people are often embarrassed to share so they are much less reported.

I've seen great engineers end up falling flat on their ass because of trying to do this. The majority of people just don't have the ability/capacity to be good at two jobs, and once people notice that you're meh or worse, it's very difficult to change that. Most people are better off just kicking ass at one job, than being acceptable at two.

Meh is fine. I’m better off doing Mechanical Turk than trying to go above meh at an employers.

What about one senior engineer working as senior for a few years in company X and then joining in parallel company Y but working as non-senior (it’s easy to hide working experience in your cv). Doesn’t sound that stressful.

Now I wonder about the negative scenarios. E.g. did someone use their personal github account to join two organizations. Or was there an employee transfer from one company to the other. The possibilities are endless.
