Maybe they don't. I've heard this story a few times, but never in a way that could be verified. It's a bit of an urban legend equivalent for me. Maybe there's even someone who pulled it off for a while. But just as likely it's a joke that became a "true story". Same as the manager throwing the CVs in the air to choose the lucky ones.
Honestly I posted that as a joke. But I am intrigued if it actually can be done. Take the easy jobs, apply a 10x/4 for a two x effort at all your jobs. Be careful to only accept jobs that are low on meeting expectations.
IMO the people that can actually succeed while overemployed could be just as successful, if not more so, as an above-the-board consultant or freelancer. It just seems like inventing a way to do something that already exists and many people do.
I probably agree after careful consideration. Finding a low tax jurisdiction to consult remotely from is probably the best move for someone capable and experienced.
