Moonlighting is the practice of working for a business in the same field while being a permanent employee of another company.
Doctors in Hyderabad, a major IT and ITes destination in India, have warned against moonlighting, citing the risk of brain and heart-related ailments.
Hospitals in Hyderabad have seen an increase in patients suffering from brain strokes or heart attacks who are IT professionals and work for more than one company for more than 60 hours a week.
While the ethical and moral implications of moonlighting are still being debated, it is important for individuals to consider the potential health risks before taking on multiple jobs in the same field.
