<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Leap of Faith Pays Off</h2>
<p>For five years, they had been working a $100,000-a-year software engineering job that only required about 20 hours of actual work weekly. While the job's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41231722/kevin-oleary-says-theres-no-worklife-balance-for-new-entrepreneurs-as-guys-in-mumbai-or-shanghai-wor">work-life balance</a> was great, they decided to test the waters of Overemployment – a strategy where people work two or more remote jobs at the same time.</p>
<p>"I decided to take a leap of faith and accepted J2 at $175,000," they wrote, referring to the second job. "I only expected to last a couple of weeks, but it has been surprisingly feasible." Fast forward two months and they had banked $20,000 in extra income, which they're using for a house down payment.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"><strong> </strong><strong>Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Juggling Two Jobs</h2>
<p>How do they make it work? Both jobs are fully remote and they put in about 50 hours weekly across the two roles. &#8220;I usually do just enough work each day for both jobs that I can give a decent update at daily scrum ceremonies and then I catch up on Sundays and work a few hours for whatever job I'm behind on.&#8221;</p>
<p>The secret to success is focusing on completing enough work for each job to give solid updates during daily stand-ups, a common practice in software development. To stay on top of things, they use Sundays to catch up on tasks if either job falls behind during the week.</p>
<p>"I work much more efficiently than my coworkers, I guess," they shared. "I get assigned a task that it'd take the average dev a week to finish and I can do it in three days. I'm &#8216;active&#8217; 40 hours a week but really only work like 20."</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"><strong> </strong><strong>here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Financial Perks – and Challenges</h2>
<p>The financial boost has been life-changing. With the additional income, they have been able to accelerate savings goals, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/buying-a-house-in-january">buy a house</a> and even treat themselves to small luxuries like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38878508/millennials-coming-to-a-golf-course-community-near-you">new golf clubs</a>. But, as they admit, maintaining two jobs is challenging.</p>
<p>"It's Winter right now, so I&#8217;m hibernating inside anyways," they explained. "But if I make it through the spring, it's going to be tough not to leave J2. Hours are until 6 p.m. in the evening and it&#8217;s a contract, so I get no paid time off.&#8221; If they miss even one day, they&#8217;re giving up $600.</p>
<p>This dynamic has left them feeling a bit "trapped" by the high pay, but they're still grateful for the opportunity to build their financial cushion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Advice from the OE Community</h2>
<p>The r/overemployed community chimed in with advice and encouragement. Some suggested they "slow roll" tasks by stretching out timelines to make juggling both roles easier. Others emphasized the importance of maximizing retirement contributions and investing wisely to make the most of the extra income.</p>
<p>One commenter summed it up: "Make hay while the sun shines. Make sure you max your 401(k), IRA, HSA, etc. and then pile a ton of the rest into a brokerage and/or mortgage."</p>
<p>Another user warned about burnout and recommended finding a sustainable pace. "Tailor your throughput to your team," they advised. "Do exactly enough."</p>

<p>The U.S. telecom sector has delivered a robust performance over the past year, outpacing broader market gains. The S&amp;P Telecom Select Industry Index surged around 37% over the past year, significantly outperforming the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/12/42751664/sp-500-ends-2024-23-higher-experts-see-double-digit-growth-for-2025">S&amp;P 500's 22.95% gain</a>. </p>
<p>This strength has inevitably seeped into telecom-focused ETFs, making them attractive investment avenues. Here are three ETFs that could be a door for investors to ride this wave:</p>
<p>Strong gains in several telecom ETFs speak of the sector's bullish momentum:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Vanguard Communication Services ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOX#NYSE">VOX</a>): Up 10% over the past three months and 31.36% over the past year.</li>

<p>The telecom sector's outlook remains optimistic, considering the positive forecasts in artificial intelligence. Moreover, interest rate cuts throughout 2024, and President Trump&#8217;s push for further rate reductions, could support positive sentiments and hence, industry growth.</p>
<p>Notably, telecom giants <strong>AT&amp;T</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), <strong>Verizon </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), <strong>T-Mobile</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) and <strong>Comcast </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMSCA#NASDAQ">CMSCA</a>) reported relatively healthy Q4 earnings, reinforcing investor confidence:</p>
<ul>

Earnings per share (EPS) is at 96 cents adjusted revenue at $31.92 billion; net income was $4.78 billion, up 47% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA growth of 10%.</li>
<li>Verizon's Q4 results reflected healthy growth, with both revenue and earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43189382/verizon-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-1-million-mobile-and-broadband-subscriber-adds-business-segment-margin-expands">surpassing estimates</a>. Its EPS was recorded at $1.10 adjusted, revenue at $35.68 billion, and net Income at $5.11 billion, rebounding from a loss a year ago.</li>
<li>AT&amp;T reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43230968/att-q4-earnings-307k-fiber-adds-projects-mid-teens-broadband-growth-in-2025">strong subscriber growth</a> and operational efficiency gains, with EPS and revenues at $0.54 and $32.3 billion respectively. Net Income of $4.03 billion nearly doubled from a year ago.</li>
<li>T-Mobile&#8217;s stock gained after it reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43300596/t-mobile-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-adds-1-9-million-postpaid-customers-targets-6-million-new-customers-in-2025">strong fourth-quarter results</a>, surpassing analyst expectations. Its EPS was $2.57, and revenue came in at $21.87 billion.</li>
</ul>
<p>U.S. telecom ETFs remain well-positioned for continued growth thanks to strong corporate earnings and an optimistic industry outlook.</p>
