"In 2020, Lisa was earning roughly $110,000 a year in a remote, corporate manufacturing role when she received an offer for a hybrid job that paid about $150,000. After talking it over with her husband, she landed on an unconventional solution: Take the new job - and keep the old one, too. For 18 months, Lisa secretly worked two full-time roles, earning roughly $250,000 in 2021 and averaging 40 to 50 hours a week across both jobs."
"On days she had to go into the office for her hybrid role, she'd bring both laptops - which conveniently looked identical - and juggle her responsibilities from a cubicle or private room. Lisa said the extra income has put her and her husband in a strong position to afford their three children's college educations. It also allowed her husband to take a much-needed break from the workforce and focus on caring for their kids."
"However, in recent years, Lisa said return-to-office pressures and burnout made job juggling unsustainable. In 2022, she gave up her $250,000 income from two jobs for a new position as a supply chain manager with a hybrid schedule that paid $175,000 annually. Nearly two years later, Lisa faced another challenge to the lifestyle she'd grown used to: Her company announced a five-day-a-week in-office policy."

Return-to-office pressures and burnout made juggling two jobs unsustainable. In 2022 she took a single supply-chain manager role paying $175,000 with a hybrid schedule, and later faced a five-day in-office policy.
