Who is this "they"? There's no such thing as employer audit. I'm a fed and a lot of my coworkers have 2nd jobs but in unrelated fields (real estate, clothes making, etsy stores, couple counseling, sports coaching, tutoring, bartending etc.). As long as you don't work the same hours and there is no conflict of interest, go for it.

I have two remote jobs in cybersecurity operations. The first job begins at 7am and ends at 3pm, while the 2nd job starts at 11pm and ends at 7am. I sleep between 3pm and 10pm, and also on the jobs between 12am and 7am. I am making 200K on the first job and 195K on the second job. I've been doing it since the pandemic of March 2020. I am going to quit my second job in a month since I've made enough money in the past three years.
So, the second job is paying to sleep most of the time? Are they just paying you to be on call in case something happens and you don't actually have any deliverables there?

Hard to quit one as huge hit to income.
And there is no such thing you owe money back.
I had an interview today for a third job paying 280k.
At work in 2022 I noticed “job abandonment” is a new big category of terminations. I imagine people with multiple jobs have balls to not even formally quit.
What industry are you in where you get such light work loads to be able to juggle 2 well paying full time jobs? I had never been anywhere where they won't overload you and hound you almost every day to make sure you are occupied and working on something and making progress. You might also be asked to run BAU on top of doing new projects. Please share how I can find jobs paying this much working from home and not having such light work loads

Sounds like your projects are too easy, OP. You lucked out to have a low key job where you are not constantly hounded about your progress and not saddled with really time consuming complicated work. Don't risk it, count your lucky stars and don't get another official job that could be found out. Maybe start a side hassle unrelated to your job on the side or a cash gig. Remote work could be the opposite of what you have, you could be working late into the night every day to meet aggressive timelines and have to account for your progress daily, you may be allocated to more than one project (this is not unusual) and have to multi-task and coordinate across time zones. Your second job very well could be one of these and then you will be drowning, stressed and risking a nice cushy unicorn gig.

You are making 195k at a job and only work 11-12m

Why would I owe backpay? I'm a salaried tech worker and my employer doesn't have any login or hours tracking since I'm exempt from overtime. My hours aren't defined so I just do them concurrently.

I will admit, it's tempting. My current position is 100% WFH since the pandemic. The company did not renew its office space so the entire company is 100% remote. My boss moved to another state. Most of my coworkers have moved to lower COL areas as well. Even on a very busy day, I still have hours of time to goof off by watching TV or running errands. I'm a very fast, efficient worker and tend to pound out assignments/tasks very quickly instead of pushing them off. If I'm given a project on Monday that's due Friday, it's rare for me to not have it completed by Wednesday. I get excellent feedback and my yearly review in November was fantastic.
I have very few meetings at my current job (2/week max most of the time). I feel like I have the perfect set up to get a second job.
Most fully remote WFH people have a second job. Go for it. I have been doing it for about one year. Feels great as if lay-offs happen who cares. Dont ask permission. That is dumb Boomer Advice
And as employers adapt to this expectation the next generation will hate you when two parents each having to work two full time jobs to make a living wage becomes the new norm.

You need to find out from your employer if it is allowed. There are quite a few jobs out there where employers have policies that you cannot work in a related field during your term of employment and you have NDA's that cover your work including your intellectual property. So knowledge that you use in your current job, you may not be allowed to use in another job with similar or competing areas of expertise during your term of employment.
If you work has no such policies, you can try to find another employer who would allow you to do similar, but just be careful and do your research before you jump.
