In the years since the communist pandemic began, the concept of fighting back has become increasingly popular, but instead it is “overemployment.” As of this publication, R/Overemployed SubReddit has nearly 450,000 members, and this week its Redditors are celebrating one person in particular: Soham Parekh.
Parekh is a software engineer in India who has worked at several startups on Reddit and X (this is the concept of overemployment: there are multiple full-time jobs, hope no one notices). Suhail Doshi, founder of Playground AI and other companies, broke the news on X first.
META reportedly replaces human risk assessors with AI
“I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/liaring.” “He didn’t stop a year later. There was no more excuse.”

Others in the tech industry have posted stories of their interactions with Parekh, sometimes even hiring and firing.
Matthew Parkhurst, co-founder and CEO of Launching Antimetal, quoted Doshi’s post and said: “It’s funny, Soham is our first engineering hire in 2022… It’s really smart and likable; it’s great to work with him; we quickly realized he worked at several companies and got him to work.”
Mixable light speed
Arkadiy Plegin, co-founder of Leabing AI, posted a photo with Parekh and said: “I tried to give him too.” [the] benefit of the doubt. He denied until the end. My other “employer” and I were very interesting [Fuse AI] When we found out, we made a photo together. It was never finally sent to him. ”

More people in quotes shared screenshots of email exchanges with Parekh and calendar events for interviews.
Parekh said in an interview with the Technology Business Programming Network that he does work at multiple companies at once. He said he was not proud of what he did, but because of his “terrible” financial situation (though he didn’t elaborate), he claimed to work 140 hours a week. (That was 20 hours a day. He also said he was notorious when he wasn’t sleeping among his friends.)
Parekh also said he wrote “every inch” of the code he built, rather than relying on junior engineers, using only AI to help him.
This situation has opened up conversations during interviews with these tech companies and whether “moonlight” at multiple companies is indeed wrong.
Of course, this is social media, and it also stimulates many meme reactions:
