I'm doing exactly this, while working at a FAANG. My second and third jobs actually know I have a main FAANG job, and they have no problem with it. And I have no qualms about "stealing" from FAANG this way, sorry. In fact, my perf review at my main job is a mixture of "meets expectations", and "exceeds expectations".

@meindnoch,

What do you do in your second and third job? How did you find it?

My second job is consulting for my previous job which I've left to make more money at FAANG. My third job is consulting for a company where a friend of mine works. I gave him useful advice on some problems he was working on, and he connected me with the higher ups.

All three jobs are software engineering. C++ mostly.

How many hours per week do jobs 2 and 3 consume?

Officially or actually?

I’d love to know both numbers, it’s an interesting story. I’m agree with you here, yet I think consulting is just different. You gain your expertise at job-1 (FAANG), and then you just use those skills at jobs 2 and 3. I think it’s not that simple, but I guess could be simplified that way.
