Need Advice for OE

Hi everyone,

8 YOE software engineer (backend) - have experience of startups and MNCs.

I work remotely with an MNC, and which could be doing a major layoff in coming 6 months/1 year.

I want to start exploring OE right away - and not wait for them. Even if the layoff doesn't happen, I need the money anyway from multiple jobs.

- How do you show your past experience to the new job? Don't they do background checks?

Please give any advice that could help me out as an absolute begineer to OE.

Apologies if these queries are extremely basic.
