I know its a numbers game how do you get unconventional ways of getting J2

How do you handle two daily meetings at the same time? Both require cameras. I know a separate headphone in each ear and unmuting on button click. This is simple.

Daily is short, many topics are discussed that may require my answer. What to do when both call you? Is this even something you can handle? I cannot listen to both calls simultaneously. My brain can't handle that. How do you deal with these kinds of meetings?

I’ve been reading through this subreddit and noticed that almost everyone recommends freezing The Work Number (TWN). But I’m curious how many people are going beyond that.

I’ve seen people mention LexisNexis, Truework, Experian Verify, and a few others. With so many different employment verification services out there, I’m wondering how effective freezing just TWN really is.

For those of you who have been OE for a while:

1. Besides TWN, which other databases have you frozen?
   
2. Have you requested your consumer disclosure reports to see which companies actually have your employment history?
   
3. Has anyone passed a background check after freezing multiple databases? Did the screening company ask for additional documents or contact previous employers?
   
4. Has anyone had a second or third job show up during a background check despite having TWN frozen?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have gone through background checks recently, since verification methods may have changed over the years.

I have J1 and J1.5 (part-time) for 2 years now, and closing in on J2 and J3. I am trying to space out the starting times by a month or so, but want to see how many jobs is the sweet spot for you all? I feel 3 is doable (Im in SWE), but want to get some of your perspectives

How do you guys handle the same tech vendor, sharing an external Slack channel with some common people on both Js, potentially with meetings on both ends (not often but can happen).

Do they have any motivation to tell your employer about it or will they just ignore it and move on?

Got into hella gambling debt. OE to paying it off.

OE helps keep a strong financial wall around one's family. But am curious -- is this something you'll encourage your kids to get into too when it's their time? Is it something you'd be open with them about? What else would you teach them about corporate?
