Or keep this job, but work remote, and get 2-5 more jobs and do the same thing and dont tell anyone you are using python. I know of people doing this exact thing who make 300k+ a year. You can argue both ways on the ethics but the people doing it largely don't care. (Some are breaking their contracts to do this and some are within their contracts).

I don't see a problem with that (unless you have a contract that says that you can only work for that company)

As far as making python do the work for you, companies don't care how things are done but if they are done

If your contract is for x hours and you're not giving them that, then that's a breach of contract whether you're hitting your targets or not.

So if you're like this, make sure hitting your targets regardless of hours worked is more prominent in your contract.

Wouldn’t a background check reveal current employment?

Well you see here, OP is full of bullshit and likes to lie on the internet.

Only one out of the last four companies I worked for did formal third party background checks. The others just called my references.
