It's more than just a crazy idea. I joined a high-risk small startup coming from a very stable job with a new baby to take care of. Being unemployed at the time was absolutely not an option. The new company seemed amazing and like a great opportunity, but they didn't even have health insurance for remote employees (this was awhile back), so I was very worried that something would fall through at the last moment.

I've heard stories of people working two remote jobs to double their income, but based on my experience of just two weeks overlap the stress induced from secretly having two jobs indefinitely seems to outweigh the financial benefit.

Same here. I read about this happening, but can't imagine wanting to deal with that kind of stress and anxiety personally.
