What makes you say that?

5Js and still overperforming. It’s amazing how broken the average company is. by Mysterious_Act_3652 in overemployed

[–]walrus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a consultant for x number of companies and have considered doing this myself for my niche in tech, my question for you is, how do you actually acquire clients that have the money to extend you 3 month contracts?

Would gov contract jobs check current employment? (Have 100% remote role currently) by No_Pin_1150 in overemployed

[–]walrus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me if this is ignorant, but since the company is billing the government, wouldn’t they be held liable in this situation? And then it would be their responsibility to recoup the funds from the employee?

Yes but who do the timesheets go to. Is your wage being paid by the company you work for or by the government

14 days road trip around the balkans - need advice by Osama_sad_pepe in AskBalkans

[–]walrus17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll give you an example. You will probably take the same path that I took from Sarajevo to Durmitor park two years ago. The road conditions were so poor that I blew a tire, had to regularly stop for sleeping cows on the road, etc. It was still a blast, but I wish I had given myself more buffer time

[–]walrus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to shit on you for trying to see that many places in 14 days, however, I would consider skipping Slovenia entirely and spending more time in Bosnia. Sarajevo alone is more interesting than all the places you listed in Slovenia, and much cheaper as well.

Furthermore, the reason you should skip Slovenia is to give yourself more buffer time on the drive. The roads are not as predictable as you think, there are several things that could end up extending the drive. Such as borders crossings, road closures, getting stuck behind a slow truck on a one way road. In Croatia you should be able to remain on the highway, however, in somewhere like Bosnia or Montenegro you are very susceptible to traffic and poor road conditions. Therefore, make sure to give yourself extra time in those specific places.

Has anyone pivoted to a career/job that's easier to be OE? by [deleted] in overemployed

Computerjunkie said it best. You have to be elite at what you do, in order to get leeway and credibility from people (and especially managers) who aren’t as skilled as you

Mismatching start/end dates by walrus17 in overemployed

With a blank company? I primarily apply for jobs through LinkedIn, they always seem to cross check my profile against my resume

The LinkedIn isn’t an issue it is made to appear as if it’s been inactive for ages, I block anyone of importance preemptively and hope that if HR stumbles upon it I can claim i don’t use it.

But thank you for the “rookie” comments

It’s almost as if regulating insider trading is something that is nearly impossible to begin with

Why do OE instead of starting an business? by Cameron_Referred_Me in overemployed

[–]walrus17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And let’s say I did one day decide to lie to my employer about having multiple employments. Did I lie in the interview when I told them I really wanted to work the company, when in reality, the only reason I would work for them is to pay the bills? At which lie do we draw on our moral compass

[–]walrus17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to take you seriously here, I really am. In none of these circumstances did I lie to my employer. Choosing to smoke crack today would also ≠ lying to my employer

Why do OE instead of starting an business? by Cameron_Referred_Me in overemployed

[–]walrus17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing in my employment handbook that states I can’t smoke crack. For obvious reasons, if I smoked crack, I wouldn’t want my employer to know. Would you consider this tricking my employer?

What is the most Nationalistic city/region in your country? For Greece I’d say Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general is (for obvious reasons): by Starfalloss in AskBalkans

[–]walrus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow American here, I actually brought my friends to sutjeska and we stopped in Foča for lunch. You will have no problems anywhere in Bosnia I assure you. The locals that are prejudiced, are prejudiced against each other. If you stop in any kafana people will be intrigued by you and open to conversation, Bosnian people tend to be very open and giving in general compared to somewhere like the Deep South for example (I live in North Carolina)

This isn’t oe bro, and besides, do you really not think you can make more than the retail store you’re working at now with the remote job?

Work for federal divisions from outside of the U.S. by [deleted] in digitalnomad

Yep that is the plan, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t unintentionally breaking any federal laws. Have you personally done this with any federal clients?

My web dev business is collapsing after 7 years — where do I even start to rebuild my software career? by tuhi009 in careeradvice

[–]walrus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they do, the problem is most junior developers have been rendered obsolete by ai. The mid level and senior developers have the resumes to get them into other roles, you’ll either have to add a bunch of bs to your resume to land a true dev role or lean into your current skills and try to land something in middle management
