    That seems like it would be tough working in vastly different timezones. I guess you don’t have to worry about meetings overlapping nearly as much but you’re basically signing up for 12 hour days everyday. I don’t think that’s worth the effort. EST and PST is about as far apart in time as I’d be willing to go.

    My issue is that the field I’m in is specialized enough and I’m visible enough that it would be tough to not get recognized at another company. I’d almost have to work for a direct competitor to my current employer and they all have a lot of employees that used to work at my current company. Getting caught and losing both jobs plus the ability to work at two companies in a fairly niche industry would be pretty shitty.

      Oh no. As a contractor they have very set tasks with rarely any meetings to attend. The full time job is what allows them to do the contract job during roughly the same time. The contract employer is aware of their TZ difference.
