If your main job is fully remote, there's no reason you shouldn't have two jobs...

I work remotely and run a business and recently I been really looking at how much I run myself into the ground some days and wonder if it’s worth it. I haven’t moved on from this job cause it’s convenient and does give me freedom to do my business too but really if I leveled up my job I could use the rest of the time to chill more. It gets tricky. Some days I’m all in, some days I’m like FTS, but I’m sure that’s consistent with any entrepreneur.

LinkedIn is one concern, people are nosy but this isn't too difficult to navigate. The bigger concern is meeting collisions especially if both jobs are in the same timezone. You may be able to weasel your way out of one of the meetings when this happens but if this happens frequently, it will become an issue. Another issue is time management. Many people have rightfully pointed out that they're spending maybe 20 or so hours in a work week actually working but there's more to that story. Depending on what you're working on, the time spent may increase. If you're working on two larger tasks simultaneously at both jobs, you're going to find yourself working some nights and weekends.

I've been working two fully remote jobs for about a year now and there are definitely some reasons you might want to think twice about it.
how do you avoid conflicting schedules with meetings and stuff?

guaranteed checks every two weeks is why you cant leave it.
