An anonymous Redditor plans on becoming a millionaire from home after working six jobs from home.
In this Reddit thread, True Off My Chest the anonymous man shared that currently he is working in IT and is a well-known name in his field.
During the pandemic crisis, the man shares that he had to take up a second job and now his contractual workload has only been increasing.
He wrote: "I have been taking on more jobs, and I am currently working six full-time jobs now.

"Working from home has enabled this. I could not have done this if I had to go to the office. I am based in Europe, and this year I will be doing around 700K USD (£516,129)."
Talking about working with his clients, he added: "In their eyes, I am probably a developer a bit slow, but not terrible (I am good at my craft, and I work during meetings).
"They probably do not take me as a social person since I do not collaborate too much in meetings."

The man goes as far as claiming that in a couple of years he will be a millionaire and plans on retiring before 40 which sure sounds like a sweet dream.
Despite questioning the ethics of working for many companies, the man seemed to be pretty pleased.
Though many people were genuinely happy for him others remain unconvinced.
"Every time someone beats the system and finds a way to get what they deserve without making another person miserable, I'm a happy person. Keep going, man," someone wrote.

"Six jobs? Damn. Some tips for me, please? I'm struggling to land even a single job," another added.
On the other hand, a third person wrote: "Yup. This person is a contractor, which isn't the same as doing six full-time jobs. I think the 700K (£516,129) number is an exaggeration as well (because he's not doing full-time work).

"That said, I do know people in their early thirties earning that much from regular full-time IC jobs (counting stock appreciation). Two jobs might be doable, but six jobs is complete and utter bulls***."

A Redditor who claimed to be an engineer also thinks that the 'logistics' of working six jobs would be too much to handle.
They wrote: "As an actual engineer, I call BS on this for several reasons - first, just the general logistics of working six jobs. Most companies work in an Agile environment, and dev teams point work on difficultly.
"The burn-down charts would expose you after a couple of sprints (2wk~month).

"Second, if you're using company equipment, it's monitored. So you'd be tracked on times of inactivity or more. Then you'd have all the meetings. And of course, they'd conflict.
"As a contractor, you wouldn't last long missing meetings as a remote worker. That doesn't even include the actual time it takes to get stuff done. But this would be obvious for someone 'relatively known' in their field. Enjoy your free internet points."
