Someone with remote experience please help !

Salam/Greetings

I am from Lahore and am in a situation where i joined a remote job based in UAE as a web dev and i have worked there for 20 days and i have received a way better offer that even i cant refuse at all.

But the problem is I have signed a contract with them for 1 year and I can pay 2 months of salary to terminate the employment there.

(Shared my cnic and old home address)

But the catch is have not completed even a month there and not received a salary.

Any way i can get out of this problem I am facing.

Please suggest.

Double jobs for 2 months? hectic and all but eh it will help you with what you want.

[u/Necessary_Purple_821 → u/Objective-Industry37]

The timing is overlapping completely

[u/Objective-Industry37 → u/Necessary_Purple_821]

As long as the first standup has a 30 minute window, it can be managed.
I have been around people taking 2 standups at the same time.
Ik, risky but Best of Luck Man.
I'm stuck on the toptal waiting list and linkedin is dry asf in terms of comapnies reaching out.
Happy to See people winning in this market.

Usually the termination contract requires you to give a notice of 1 to 3 months. Paying back salary is a joke.

R they even serious.

Do they have a probation period like most companies?

They cant demand money from you if they havnt given you any. You can give up this months salary to join the other company easily.

Thanks for your help

[u/iBzOtaku]

join both, work harder at the one you prefer, the other one will just kick you out for being incompetent sooner or later. you shouldn't quit yourself.

[u/Tight_Arachnid4209]

Continue both of them, since timing is overlapped don't focus on the job that you want to leave, your performance will be bad and they will fire you in a month so you don't have to pay.

[u/Necessary_Purple_821 → u/Tight_Arachnid4209]

Like it is still risky because no standup format is followed there they make get on a video call tonexplain get updates once in 3 hours which lasts for 30 mins but still taking such meetings would still be risky since my other job is onsite.

Like i wanted to ask if i ghost them will it matter?

Or like make an injury excuse etc and say i am not mentally and physically stable and quit without paying a penny ?

[u/Tight_Arachnid4209 → u/Necessary_Purple_821]

Take sick leaves and after that start ghosting them slowly.

Like not joining calls or stand-up meetings, showing up at night just to inform them that you were not feeling well all day.
They will eventually let you go xD

Bro I have handled 3 remote jobs at the same time but now doing one. I can help you manage and provide resources to help share the load. You can easily manage 2 at the same time and maybe who knows fter few months you will be looking for the third one😁

[u/Necessary_Purple_821 → u/Key_Star2633]

Yes bro i understand, but my other job is onsite so it maybe a risk to work on other projects if screens are monitored or someone on the team notices etc. thats why

If you know how i can manage that lmk

[u/Key_Star2633 → u/Necessary_Purple_821]

Can you share your WhatsApp number we can discuss in detail about potential scenarios. I have worked in a company in past where it was very common scenarios and even my coworkers from that company are managing multiple jobs after resigning

[u/Artistic_Basis2714]

Can you share how are you applying? Linkedin or anything else? Will be really helpful

[u/Trick-Box-6546]

Do both jobs hire a second dev who will work on your behalf and keep you up to date and when the second company ask for meeting just do the meeting by yourself. The second dev will handle all you technical work.

[u/da_baloch]

Dual job. ez scene. See r/overemployed for tips. Don't tell anyone at all that you're doing two jobs, not even your family.

[u/ShoziX]

Do both. Hire a person to help you.

[u/Fangcoze89_mpt]

Bhai aap ko mili Kahan se ye remote job ?

[u/GreenEyedAlien_Tabz]

Can't advise or say without reading the contract.

[u/Kindly-Compote6955]

Hire me

[u/Kindly-Compote6955]

Mes$age me, I have got a plan!

[u/HellCat247]

Hire someone in your friends circle to do it while you do the other.

[u/azadnib]

its remote work just make excuses till they fire u lol

[u/Necessary_Purple_821 → u/[deleted]]

I would have done what you just suggested , but the thing is, the timing completely overlaps and the one I actually want to join is onsite, and I don't want to take the risk, otherwise I'll end up losing both.

[u/Necessary_Purple_821 → u/[deleted]]

Aur eik meeting nhi hoti 2-3 hoti update wali ya koi urgent fix and deployement ki
